I recently bought a Tandberg Data 3513 external tape drive. I’m excited to use it and have already downloaded all the drivers from [archive.org]. But connecting it physically is tricky—I see it labeled as a SAS drive, yet the manual mentions "Ultra 320 SCSI Wide (native), Serial Attached SCSI 3Gbps." Since SCSI Wide uses 68 pins, I’m wondering if a standard wide SCSI cable works here. For this LTO-4 model, should I look for a compatible card and cable at a good price? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all.
