The title says it all: I currently have a Norco RPC-3116 16-bay SAS2 hotswap case, and while it works, I am getting more and more annoyed by the build quality of that case. Or rather, the lack thereof: I had a Ceph OSD drop out on me the other day because of shoddy connections between the drive and the backplane.
So, I'm ready for, preferably, Supermicro. Conditions are:
Does anyone have any suggestions?
So, I'm ready for, preferably, Supermicro. Conditions are:
- 16x SAS2 hotswap. Expander is ok, but just 4xSFF8087 is fine, too.
- Can put both 3.5" and 2.5" inside the caddies (I have some SSDs, too).
- Accepts ATX mainboard (E-ATX is nice-to-have, but not necessary).
- Does not sound like a military airfield during a full-scale war
Does anyone have any suggestions?
