Hi,
I wonder if those or similar chassis are available for consumer as empty chassis (without drives included) somewhere in europe (ideally austria/germany).
Checking ebay every day if something pops up is rather annoying (and how long can that take in EU), when I search for 4U60 I usually only find the G1 and mostly also for rather high prices (if there are any available at all).
Are there any alternatives? I also don't really need to have mainboard etc. included in that chassis, would be even better to have the actual server in a separate chassis connected via SAS.
(I think napp-it with ZFS requires HBA/controllers on IT-mode and recommends LSI?; 48+ disks in a 4U case would be nice)
/Edit: Just read on this thread https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/wtb-60-bay-jbod.23958/page-2 that you can only use WD/HGST enterprise drives in those ... is the same limitation present in G1? I don't want such a limitation on my chassis - are there alternatives?
