Hi,
I'm want to build or buy a new server. I run Linux on this server to be precise ClearOS. I use this software since 2009 and i enjoy using it. I want a server with lot of storage. So i'm thinking of buying a chassis (rackmount) with 24 hot swappable bays and build it self or buy a sas/sata expander rackmount with a server. Are there any disadvantages using expander rackmounts. I really like to get some feedback. On the Clearfoundation forums is little knowledge about this stuff so i'm hoping to find some people who can help me.
Regards, Marcel
