Maybe that's what the extra holes are for on the drive carriers - to accomodate the interposer.</P><P></P><P>Anyway, just reading the datasheet on this new SAS 2 LSI interposer: <A href="http://www.lsi.com/DistributionSystem/AssetDocument/SCG_LSISS9252_PB_082709.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.lsi.com/DistributionSystem/AssetDocument/SCG_LSISS9252_PB_082709.pdf</A> <A href="http://www.lsi.com/DistributionSystem/AssetDocument/SCG_LSISS9252_PB_082709.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.lsi.com/DistributionSystem/AssetDocument/SCG_LSISS9252_PB_082709.pdf</A></P><P></P><P>Is this what you've got?</P> Fri, 18 Sep 2009 22:11:19 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/finally-the-sata-gt-sas-dongle-to-convert-x25-e-x25-m-to-dual/m-p/567#M429 idata 2009-09-18T22:11:19Z
