I have a old 1366 dual socket workstation that I picked up for next to nothing. It only has sata 2(3gbs) but also has sas 2(6gbs). What speed would I get if I put a sata 3 ssd in to a sas 2 port would I get the 6gbs that both are rated at?
Yes, sata drives will work on sas controllers but not the other way around. So a sas 6gbps controller will give you 6gbps when connected to a 6gbps sas or sata disk.
