Enterprise SAS RAID ...on a RASPBERRY PI?!

Can you use an enterprise-grade SAS RAID card in the Raspberry Pi?

That's the question I try to answer in this video. There is a lot more data that I didn't cover in the video, but I cover in the Raspberry Pi PCI Express Card Database website: https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com
