Hello Everyone,
I am looking for an eSATA card that I can use with a Dell Server I have. I have run out of disk space - and I have an external hardware RAID 5 array that I want to plug into the machine and use as an additional datastore in esxi 5.1.
I have an eBox R5 from DatOptic - a very nice device - that I used to use with this server (a Dell T410 for those who might know it) when it ran Windows. When I switched to esxi to run my VMs - the card was not supported - so I stopped using the external raid array. Now I need the additional storage again.
So - what I would like to find is a simple eSATA card that I can plug into the machine and access that storage. It connects to the Server via an eSATA cable - and I think the eSATA interface will allow me to treat it like just another drive on the computer - and thus as a new DataStore in esxi.
Any product recommendations would be very much appreciated!!!
eSATA card that will work with esxi 5.1
