does it matter if I use H800 or other generic LSI card would be also fine?

May I ask what's wrong with interposer? Sent from my Moto MAXX using Tapatalk

SC846E1-R900B 24 Bay SAS SATA Chassis JBOD <- price look decent, but no expander card inside? I did some math on my requirement, it's hardly saturate backplane even at 3Gbps old SAS generation, I think I will probably doing fine. Why not Dell MD1000 then? Is it tricky to deal with non-dell...

I see, I think I will stay with SATA instead of SAS. The enclosure that you showed is too expensive.

But at the front, it will be the same? So I have to check backplane to see if it's dual port?

As title, I see mixed comment on this, do I need to update chassis firmware before install non Dell hard drive? Sent from my Moto MAXX using Tapatalk

16+ disk yes I will be using 4TB+ disks Does connector make any differences? Dual port meaning two SAS output port?! Is there have dual expander? is it meaning backplane will connect to two different expander card?

Does anyone could suggest some cheap SAS disk enclosure with expander card built-in? Or does any Dell/HP/IBM SAS enclosure would do the job? I am planning to use non-branded disk so I wouldn't get lock down to Dell/HP/IBM.
