do those have SFF x4 SAS connectors? when I just looked at Supermicro's 2U chassis, thats what most of them used for their drive backplanes. the typical 2U today takes 12 3.5" drives or 24 2.5". dealing with that many discrete SATA cables would be a mess. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
