I'm ordering an Enhance Tec E8 external harddrive enclosure with with a Mini SAS 8088 connector. I plan to use 8 drives in a RAID 5. The RAID Controller I'm looking at says it has 2 x4/x8 hybrid ports, however all the ext mini SAS to mini SAS cables I can find say x4. Does that mean the x4 can only address 4 harddrives and I'd need to get two x4 cables to take use of all 8 harddrives or am I misunderstanding something here?
Thanks!
Tom
