Hi experts,
I study a SAS 9305 HBA card through a backplane to SATA HDD, how to design the backplane?
The left side is miniSAS HD and the right side is SATA.
I checked the pinout SAS and SATA is the opposite. Since 9305 HBA is SAS controller, should I follow SAS pinout? or stick to SATA pinout.
For example, SATA0_TX_DP/N from HBA should connect to S6/S7 or S2/S3 for SATA HDD.
Furthermore, it's 29 pins SAS connector on BP. It should be compatible with SATA HDD, right?
