My favorite is the 2U, 24-bay Supermicro SC216 converted to a JBOD with the Supermicro power board and some PCIe SAS brackets - some photos were in the JBOD wiring and power board articles I put on STH some time ago. For SSD drives, you'd probably choose the non-expander backplane and put 6x SAS ports out the back. For spinning drives the expander backplane for the SC216 chassis is appealing.
If I were to build another one now, an HP dl180 G6 might also be appealing.
Lastly, Supermicro has some eight-bay and ten-bay 1U units that make good mini JBODs and can be found inexpensively. I once bought one for something like $150 and then sold the motherboard and heatsink, leaving me with a free JBOD chassis with redundant power.
Hi,
Anyone aware of any 1U and 2U DAS enclosures that will support SSDs (SATA III).
Thanks
