Thank you Robert! I appreciate you taking the time in sharing this and running the test. Seems like we’re on a similar boat. I have a couple of old G-Speed eS (hosted by a RR2314) that I want to move away from, extremely slow and terrible customer service from G-Tech. I was looking into a SAS solution that I could later move into a thunderbolt chassis. I also have an LTO5 drive (SAS), seems like I’m going to need two cards, a simple HBA for the LTO drive and a RAID HBA for a SAS enclosure.
Were you able to hook up your LTO drive to the areca card?
Thanks again!
