Hi,

I have some rp4440 with external drives connected (inside a StorageWorks MSA30), ans have no issue with this.

the build-in dual card is supported for either internal or external drives.
If the 2 internal drives are connected to the same bus, 1 external (channel B) is available for external storage.

If the 2 internal drives are on different busses, none of the external connectors are supported.

You may post an "ioscan -fn" if you are in doubt.

hi,

generally you shouldnt have a problem connecting external device

quick specs are located here and explain scsi options available

Also in the rp4440 maintenance guide here, look at page 13

Perhaps you are going to install an *unsupported* solution.
