Hi All - I'm hoping you can help me.
I'm based in Ireland - and whilst it's generally lovely here some things are just plain hard to come by.
One such thing is sas Expanders.. well there are a few knocking about but they seem to all be 1000euro plus.
I have an LSI9260-16i (I know this means i need to run a cable from internal to external..not really a problem..)
I also have 8x3tb drives that presently live on my worksurface which is messy - another 8 have been ordered and are in transit.
Essentially I'd like to tidy stuff up a bit, so it makes sense to get a chassis - but I keep tripping over equipment that's either SCSI, no PSU, no Caddies or just doesn't support the full bandwidth of the drives..
I'm looking to spend as little as possible - I dont care about noise levels, looks, brand, rack or not..
..any info/links guidance is appreciated.
