Still looking for a good SAS connected JBOD setup.
Eyeing a MD1200 on Ebay right now.

As I researched the unit one thing that has me worried is they say it will not support any drives that are not "dell certified" or with "dell firmware" I often think this might have more to do with it being connected to a dell HBA like an H800 more so than the enclosure itself, but I am not 100% sure.

I have a LSI SAS9201-16E that will go into my R710 to connect up to this, so that will be my HBA not a Dell one.

Can anybody confirm if I will have drive option limits on this system?
