Hello All,

I'm just starting to think about building some mass-storage arrays and am looking to better understand some of the components involved.

For example, the Supermicro SC826 series of systems is available with three backplanes:

1. SAS / SATA Expander Backplane with single LSI SASX28 Expander Chip
2. SAS / SATA Expander Backplane with dual LSI SASX28 Expander Chips
3. SAS / SATA Direct Attached Backplane

Assuming I am using this an external array, connected to a server via SAS, how do these fit into my topology? Expander, dual-expanders and no expander? Huh?

Thanks for pointing to relevant documentation.

A.
