I should also ask: any other solutions I should have a look at to get >=12 SATA disks externally attached to my systems?

Depending on how much failure resiliancy you want and how you plan to configure your pool, you may be better off with two independent disk trays with 12 disks each. For example, if you were to use mirrors, you could split the mirrors across the disk trays. If one tray fails, then your system still works.

If you are planning to use raidz1 or raidz2 then there is likely no benefit to going with two smaller trays.
