Hi All ; As you can read below I carry a Sun bath so my opinions could be a little bit biased :) There are couple of reasons why you may consider a J series JBOD against some other whitebox unit.
1) Dual IO module option 2) Multipath support 3) Zone support [multi host connecting to same JBOD or same set of JBOD's connected in series. ] 4) Better testing with ZFS 5) Very nice SPC2 results Best regards Mertol Mertol Ozyoney Storage Practice - Sales Manager Sun Microsystems, TR Istanbul TR Phone +902123352200 Mobile +905339310752 Fax +902123352222 Email mertol.ozyo...@sun.com -----Original Message----- From: zfs-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org [mailto:zfs-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org] On Behalf Of Richard Elling Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2009 10:24 PM To: John-Paul Drawneek Cc: zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org Subject: Re: [zfs-discuss] j4200 drive carriers John-Paul Drawneek wrote: > the J series is far to new to be hitting ebay yet. > > Any alot of people will not be buying the J series for obvious reasons > The obvious reason is that Sun cannot service random disk drives you buy from Fry's (or elsewhere).
