I've tried esata sans disk digital in the past.
Both of the 4xdisk have fail in near same time. Loose many data. The web interface come from the prehistoric age.
Sans disk enclosure. Never again for me.
Yeah i know storage space is slow.
But i like it because it easy to use.
Add a physical drive.
Create many volume.
Grow volume on the fly.
Have security if losing up to 2 drives.
If you know an alternative also easy to use but more performance I want to know.

I can create my own external sas jbod case
Each external port can be connect to a sas expander in another case with 8, 16, 20 drives?
So.
If I bought a 8port external card.
I need 2 cable mini sas to mini sas and another card with 8port external and 8 port internal in a "jbod case" to add 8 drives to main system?
I can't figure how it work. And why buy this versus internal card.
I can't imagine when a external raid card is useful.
For internal, you can connect more drives IN your case. But for external? How to power your external drives?
Someone can explain it to me please? Or post some pictures.
Thank you in advance.
