Need to know if the P222 or P421 SmartArray (for Gen8 servers) will work in the new Gen9 servers?
All that are listed in the Gen9 config guides are the new 12Gbps P240 and P441controllers, which are 12Gbps SAS and have backwards compatibility only reported for 6Gbps SAS devices. I can find nothing that says they'll work with 3Gbps SAS devices.
I have an MSL4048 tape library with Ultrium 1760 tape drives in it which only communicates at 3Gbps SAS speed and need to be able to connect this machine to a new Gen9 server which will be running Windows 2012.
