Can WD Reds (SATA) be connected to an LSI 2308 (SAS2)? This would seem to be a dumb question but I've seen mixing on other components that just involved using the right cables and adapters, etc.
More specifically, I'm wondering if I could plug in WD Red 4TB drives into the 8 ports exposed by the LSI 2308 on the X10SL7-F.
Even if this *is* possible, would I be better off plugging an M1015 into the MB and connecting my drives to it?
Does either approach deal better with SMART data acquisition, etc?
Thanks!
