Wrong on so many levels. 

Firstly, 2 SSDs (really just one if you're using RAID1 for the journal
partitions as well) for 24 OSDs. 
The SSD will be a speed bottleneck and also have to handle ALL the writes
that ever happen to the whole machine (meaning it will wear out quickly). 

If you want/need SSD journals, a sensible ratio would be 3-4 OSDs per
journal SSD (partitioned into the respective amount of journals).
So something like 6 SSDs and 18 HDDs.

Secondly that backplane is connected to the HBA with one mini-SAS link.
That means at best 4 lanes of 6Gb/s for 24 drives, but it might be just
one lane, the manual is typical Supermicro quality. =.= 
Another, potentially massive bottleneck.

Also what are your goals in term of throughput, IOPS here?
If you're planning on getting lots of 24 disk boxes, fine. 
Otherwise you might be better off getting smaller nodes.

Christian.
