We have about 6 of them total here. They are pretty good for the money. They have two places in which to plug in the external SAS cable. We have the Perc 6/E cards for the servers that have these attached. Fits 15 drives. We have some configs where two servers share the same MD1000 too. There is a switch you use to split it. so one MD1000 controller has 7 drives and the other controller has 8 drives. This is static, you don't get the pick the drives or how many. We have a few that are all 750GB SATA and some that are all 300GB SAS.
