Any other suggestions for (large-)enterprise-grade, supported JBOD hardware for

Either fibre or SAS would be okay.

I'd go with some Dell MD1200's, for us they ended up being cheaper (incl disks)
than a SuperMicro case with the same model disks, and it's way nicer than the
low-quality SuperMicro stuff.
It works perfectly fine with LSI 9200-8e SAS2 controllers under Solaris. The
SuperMicro boxes won't do multi-pathing to the same LSI 9200-8e controller.
As a matter of interest, what sort of system configurations are you
building? Are you daisy-chaining JBOD units? I like the overall idea,
but with direct attach and multi-pathing that's one HBA (and one slot
Unless I'm wrong, I think you only need 2 adapters per stack of JBODs.
With adapters A0 and A1, and JBODs J0 through J3, you get:
A0 -> J0 -> J1 -> J2 -> J3
A1 -> J3 -> J2 -> J1 -> J0
Yes, all the above are daisy-chained, starting at a different side of
the stack with each adapter.
