ML330 G3 possible with Sata Controller?

[Daniel Jansma]

Hello,

I have a ML330 G3 with a standard SCSI controller, but I want to place a SATA controller in it. Is did possible and will it work with 1 TB SATA harddisks?

Thanks for your time.

Greetings Daniel

Does it mean that I cannot place a SATA controller in it?

It might work with a sata controller but it is not guaranteed. however, if you run into any problems it wont be supported at all, which is why it is not recomended. Only way to find out is to test it. Best thing would be if you had another sata-controller to try so you dont have to buy one
