I have the PCIe Card: Highpoint 4322 which is supposed to be a PCIe SAS Card with HBA which comes with two SFF-8088 ports - manufacturer's website

I also have a tape drive Tandberg Data 3513-LTO Ultrium LTO-4 with the following specs - manufacturer's website

LTO-4 HH - External SAS tape drive, Symantec Backup Exec QS Single server, Quick Start Guide, Warranty Card, 1 data Cartridge, US/Jpn Power Cord, EUR power cord

I manage to install it on Windows 10 with the driver and the management and I can't manage to get the Tape Drive to show up.

Here are a few screenshots taken in the management that shows all the possibilities. I can also access these fonctionalities right after boot, before than Windows boot up and it doesn't change anything.

My questions are the following:

  • Is my SAS card compatible with my Tape Drive ? If not what sould I buy (lower than 70$).
  • If this SAS card is compatible, how can I make it work ?

Tape drives do not go in RAID arrays - you should try with some tape drive software such as BackupAssist to connect to the drive (just an example, not a recommendation, I don't use that software but it came up with a quick Google search).

Does the drive show up in Device Manager? If so, should work fine with backup software that supports tape drives.
