https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/sas-sata-expander-ic/m-p/6307#M6169 <P>Im looking for a simple IC expander solution to support a Host via RAID Controller (ATTO) to 6 solid state drives.</P> I see LSI and PMC have devices for 24 or more ports. These seem to require some development other glue logic or interfaces to get them to work. Is there a simple drop in and use Expander IC for this simple architecture? Host &gt; RAID Controller &gt; Drives 1....Drive 6 (SAS or SATA drives). Any thoughts appreciated.
