Nothing odd about it - I've had three SC847E26-JBOD cases and they've all been faulty in one way or another, looking closer at the circuit boards I see bad soldering in a lot of places, components which have clearly been exposed to too much heat during soldering. And SuperMicro being less than helpful & competent in solving the issues. I won't get into the whole controller / array incompatibility issues we've been through with SuperMicro (if you look at their HCL, only RAID controllers with internal SAS connectors are supported with the SC847E26-JBOD box, makes no sense) - Lasse _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
