I want to add a USB 3.0 PCI-E card (with SATA power) to a Dell PowerEdge R730.
I called Dell technical support but like most times, they had no idea about the connector or generally anything
As you can see here in the manual: http://www.dell.com/support/manuals/us/en/19/Topic/poweredge-r730/R730_R730xd_Publication-v1/en-us/GUID-F9627386-54DD-4436-AAC6-9DBF28DC52B7 Ive found that port 4 (Backplane power connector 0) is free. Ive found this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812400105 which seems to convert that 8 pin connector to a SATA power connector.
I just wanted to confirm from users if they thought this would work. I dont find any reason or any strangeness in this. The only thing I can think of is if that connector is propriatory but it doesnt seem to be (if someone wants a picture, Ill be more than happy to post it)
Thank you
