I think these are first gen sas arrays, they probably don't support 2+ tb sata drives

promise vtrak j610f is fibre channel 4gbit chassis. backplane (thus not only i/o-controller) doesn't support beyond 2tb hdd. and it is limited to sas 3gbit. i have 2 of this units, trying to convert them to sas-6gbi jbod. how am i planning to do this:
- put totally another backplane with sas-6gbit, meaning remove the hdd-backplane
- removeing fan and psu. they are very heavy weigth and loud.
- replace originaal promise psu with any general atx or sfx psu, putting CSE-PTJBOD-CB (1, 2, or 3) as power switch board
- make a frame for 3 pieces of 120mm fans and connect them to power switch board
