Hello server experts !

I'm currently trying to upgrade my 2Gb Fibre Channel backbone & components with something more beefy.

I would like to have feedback from those of you who tested the LSI SAS Switch (LSI 6160) which is an affordable hi-bandwith switch, and perhaps some of you did test.
Most important, This kind of switch would (as described by LSI) allow to transform DAS racks (like the 2 Dell MD1000 I currently run) to shared units. It seems too good to be true so every bit of info would be of interest.

Thanks,
Fred

Sign up at hardforum.com and get in touch with packetboy. He uses LSI or Mellanox SAS switches.

I don't have personal experience so can only point you to someone that does.
