Hello, I'm looking for a 4U JBOD chassis with SAS3 backplane with almost 36 LFF Bay to connect to my server as DAS (it has installed an 12gb HBA SAS).
I see there are some solution on Supermicro, but it seems quite impossible to get one in Europe and the shipping cost from USA will double the price of the item.
So, I find on Ebay a Huawei 5288 v3 ( Huawei 5288. ) that is not exactly a DAS, but is cheap and I could replace the combo server + das with this unit.
Does anyone know this server?
I searched a lot, but I didn't find any information about backplane (SAS3? SAS2?) and if it supports LSI Databolt (because this server has a LSI3008 controller).
In short: is it a good deal for this price or will I have issues about drivers, firmwares and so on?
Thank you very much
