Yes, this should work fine. SAS does not care what path the signal takes - it doesn't differentiate between internal and external. You can run internal over external cables without issue. I've done similar by turning my old NAS chassis into a DAS, and connecting it to her internal ports of the HBA. And you can connect SAS or SATA drives to the DAS (system 1).

Thank you gargravarr2112 for your answer.

System 1 is with a PTJBOD-CB2 already configured. That PB was 100€ expensive (original Supermicro).
