@ WallD&gt;&gt;The Raid controller is built in on motherboard.<br />
<br />
@Ajermo&gt;&gt; &nbsp;i was rather hoping for a &quot;is not possible&quot; or &quot;is possible&quot; solution, but if no one can provide that, i must go down your path :) but you know old production servers been running for years, dont mess too much around with raidcontrollers

Found out that it is not possible, someone in my network already tried on a similar box

@ Customer<br />
Have a compaq ML370 with 6 disk in 2 raid configurations, we need to connect external tape device, the server has a built in lvd connector on the mobo, but i am concerned that we will destroy the raid configuration, if we connect a tape device to that connecter... like on adaptec scsi controllers where there is only 2 channels but 3connectors.. so how many channels are there on the motherboard of the ML370 P1400 server.<br />

Is it possible to connect tape device to external lvd connector with all 6 scsi hotswap disks in use

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
