I have yet to see anything stating this is possible. The brochure for the DAS is here.Ppl, is it possible to connect sa120 to two different servers (one server to one IO Module) and partition by 6 (8 with back trays) drives per server?

This won't work in Norway I guess (220v) as the listed item is the US (only) model.Found this one. Don't know if it is a deal, tough.
Different power cable, different prices, different support, different marketing.I see that the psu is dual voltage, but then what's the "US only" part for?
Also, not possible to ask seller for shipping cost to Norway.
Can you say something about the fan noise at the lowest speed?Fan (Enclosure) Control: Yes
Fan noise is overall very quiet, much quieter than any other DAS or SAN I've seen/used in the past (MD1200, MD3000, MD1000, DotHill, etc.). I have mine in a 24U TripLite rack in the kitchen (city apartment) and unless you're in the kitchen you can't even hear anything, compared to the MD1000 it replaced which we could hear in the living room and bedrooms even with the door closed. That being said it still is a DAS (business/enterprise) enclosure so you will hear at least a slight hum as they're not made with silence in mind. I'll grab a more accurate (dB) reading when I get back home and edit the post (assuming I remember). FYI, with fan speeds on 1 (lowest) and constant reads with daily (intermittent) writes temperatures on the drives stick at ~ 36C - 37C with some drives hitting 39C.Can you say something about the fan noise at the lowest speed?
Also, from this thread, this should work to controll the fans without other tools than sg_ses which is ported to FreeBSD, Solaris and Windows.

AndrewX192's control app should work with anything the Lenovo Utility (windows only) would work with. Cards such as the H800 which don't present the enclosure/drives correctly to the OS would still be be unable to control the fans even with the fanspeed utility.
All good and valid points that I'm aware of.Disk temperature is disk dependent... My 7200 rpm drives will definitely go above 40 if fan speed is on 1. I've had to up the speed to keep them a little cooler. As always, your mileage may vary, also depends on ambient.
I don't have a way to verify it without having the card it self but I don't see why not especially if all you are trying to do is to use it as just a HBA for exposing your disks directly to the OS.can the Dell H330 be able to connect to it even if flashing to LSI IT mode?
so i could possibly get the internal sas to external sas cable and hook it up?I don't have a way to verify it without having the card it self but I don't see why not especially if all you are trying to do is to use it as just a HBA for exposing your disks directly to the OS.
I've never tried these cables but they seem to be made for this purpose.so i could possibly get the internal sas to external sas cable and hook it up?
will the lenovo software be able to see the disk?
If you have two PSUs, I would say you don't have to worry about using any fan control utility unless you want to control the speed yourself. The fan noise is much lower at idle. My DAS is fully populated.Can you say something about the fan noise at the lowest speed?

Are you saying that with both PSU's connected, the FAN speed is correctly auto adjusted lower as long as the temperature is low enough?If you have two PSUs, I would say you don't have to worry about using any fan control utility unless you want to control the speed yourself.

Running to my basement now.... hooking up the secondary PSUs in all 4 enclosures
