Thanks, I think I'll go with the single SAS expander, I'm less worried
about that setup now. As you say, I should probably just cluster similar
machines when I'm looking for redundancy.
At the moment I just want to get something working with reasonable
priced parts which I can expand on in the future.
Thanks,
