Hi Carson, > > I have 2 Sans Digital TR8X JBOD enclosures, and they work very well. > They also make a 4-bay TR4X. > > http://www.sansdigital.com/towerraid/tr4xb.html > http://www.sansdigital.com/towerraid/tr8xb.html
looks nice! The only thing coming to mind is that according to the specifications the enclosure is 3Gbits "only". If I choose to put in a SSD with 6Gbits this would be not optimal. I looked at their site but failed to find 6GBit enclosures. But I will keep looking since sooner or later they will provide it. I think I will go for the option of replacing the four drives for now with the Hitachi 3TB drives. This will give me 9TB net with RAID-Z1 level. I will calculate how expensive a 8bay enclosure with a LSI 8port external controller will be. Just in case the 9TB are not sufficient, I need a backup place or I decide to go for RAID-Z2. :-) > > They cost a bit more than the one you linked to, but the drives are hot > swap.
