I've seen SCSI adapters of many types - SD card ones as well, don't have any direct product I could link, google pulled up many avenues - including this: https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/upgrades/sgi-%28silicon-graphics%29/octane https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/upgrades/sgi-%28silicon-graph... though didn't see SGI on list, so hard to rabbit hole that one without using live chat perhaps and may well be a legacy placeholder that time forgot. Though network booting and storage may well be an easier avenue and cheaper. If you already have a NAS, that may well be the easiest path.

The on-board NIC in an octane is 10/100, so network anything will be painful. It's possible to install gigE, but you will need a PCI-X shoebox and also a NIC with compatible firmware. Not super easy to find.

  How so? I’ve never seen a gigE port that didn’t also support 10/100.

    I mean, 11 mb/s is hilariously slow. Much, much slower than the native SCSI drives You will want gigE if you are going to do anything interesting over the network on an Octane.

      Especially given great 15kRPM SCSI drives could peak over 200Mb/sec
