I'm a complete newbie when it comes to server hardware, so please, be patient.... I got a Dell R710 with a PERC 6I connected to a 2TB SAS drive and a PERC 6E connected to a MD12000 (yes I know it´s old gear so, please avoid such comments, that's what I can afford, thanks) with 12 1TB disks

I already have a proxmox instance there running smooth but I'm not using either the internal 1TB disk or the MD1200, I know the PERCs are old and all of that also I tried blacklisting the megaraid module on proxmox but after I de-blacklisted it, I can't see the 2TB drive anymore, but that's to solve later or if you know what I messed up, feel free.

I've read about the H200 and I saw one of those with external ports but I have no clue which cables I need to connect it to the MD1200.

Thanks for any light you can shed on this matter.
