That's just a Supermicro SC847. http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/?chs=847 Stay away from the 24 port expander backplanes. I've gone thru several and they still don't work right - timeout and dropped drives under load. The 12-port works just fine connected to a variety of controllers. If you insist on the 24-port expander backplane, use a non-expander equipped LSI controller to drive it. I got fed up with the 24-port expander board and went with -A1 (all independent) and that's worked much more reliably. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
