Chris, Thanks for the response!
But if I wanted a "PCI" based card such as this: http://usa.chenbro.com/corporatesite/products_detail.php?sku=73 to put into the same case and connect 20 drives to the same HBA I'd be out of luck, right? Looking to get one of these Norco 4220 cases: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811219033 The backplane has 5 SFF-8087 mini-sas connectors. Something like that Chenbro would provide enough outputs and the LSI would control them all.

You can order jbod kit which turns the case into disk shelf. You can also daisy chain them. Those cases come with LSI X28 expander which is supported by 3801E. Note: E2 has multipathing support and requires SAS disks. I just bought a 936E1 case with jbod kit, haven't got enough time to put everything together yet. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
