I plan to buy secondhand HP StoreEver 6250 tape drive for backup purpose, but not sure what SAS Card that are compatible with that device and works on ubuntu seamlessly. One of the SAS card that I saw from the same seller is LSI SAS 9200-8e-HP, would that work properly?

1This tape is generation 6 LTO and this generation was introduced in 2012. So you are limited with gen 6 and gen 5 tapes you can use. And current generation of LTO is 9. So old tapes will not be available on the market shortly. – Romeo Ninov Jun 30 '23 at 05:17
