I doubt you'll get much bandwidth through that, even if you do get it to work with a SAS card. |

I wouldn't bother with SAS drives if it meant working with these limitations. |

Current SAS3 supports 12Gbps per port (mine have 4 ports each). PCI slots don't support anywhere near that bandwidth. |

I would recommend upgrading to a more recent mainboard or just using SATA. |
