No, your DAT drive is parallel SCSI, whereas the Perc 5/i is serial, so you can't connect one to the other.<br />
<br />
You should have no problems installing the two controllers on one machine, however, assuming you have the correct bus interfaces (ie, PCI 2.2 &amp;&nbsp;PCI Express) and available slots.

Thanks, TapeDude,<br />

The old Perc card is only PCI and it was matched with this drive before, so no problems there.<br />
<br />
Can I have &quot;overlapping&quot; Device IDs on the two cards (a device 0 on both cards, for example) or, if I have a 0, 1, and 2 on the Perc 5/i card, do I need to use 3 on the Perc 2 card?<br />

Can I have "overlapping" Device IDs on the two cards (a device 0 on both cards, for example) or, if I have a 0, 1, and 2 on the Perc 5/i card, do I need to use 3 on the Perc 2 card?

I'm installing Windows Server 2003 on a Dell PowerEdge 840. It came with an internal Perc 5/i card that has two SFF8484 connectors. One connector controls three SATA drives in a Raid 5 config.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to re-use a Quantum DAT 72 tape drive that has a SCSI Ultra2 connector. Is this compatible with the Perc 5/i card? If not, I still have the Perc 2 card that was used with the drive in an older machine... Would it be wrong and/or difficult to have 2 controller cards in one machine?<br />

Thanks in advance.

Perc 5/i and Ultra2 SCSI Tape Drive?

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

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

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
