I am looking for a relatively quiet DAS rack enclosure recommendation (preferably 12G) that is direct and doesn't have an expander. Redundant power is not a requirement. Looking to fit in 16 to 24 drives.

I am aware of plenty of SAS expander ones from Lenovo, HP, and Dell but not to many without an expander. I know of the Supermicro and Norco options. I guess I am just curious if I am overlooking anything else.

In my search I came across https://www.raidmachine.com/products/12g-sas-direct-connect-jbods/ and Data Storage | RAIDage Home | iStarUSA Group Has anyone used these before?

SM is a nicer box. Norco lets you use bigger fans and quieter power supplies.
