Hey,
I'm planning to replace my Supermicro SC825 chassis with SC826 chassis and additionally equip the SC826s with a hybrid backplane (BPN-SAS3-826A-N4).
However, I cannot really decide on the offers and need your help to evaluate which offer is the best
A BPN-SAS3-826A-N4 costs me around 165,76€ per piece.
All three offers have their pros and cons...
All three have nice PSUs (Platinum).
Offer 1 has rack rails and the SAS2-826-EL1 backplane which I could try to sell.
Offer 2 has NO caddies and the simple 826A backplane (which isn't necessarily bad, but not worth much), but has the mainboard which I could try to sell...
Offer 3 has the 920P-SQ PSUs and the matching backplane already, but that's about it.
I don't know whether the 920P-SQ PSUs can justify the 86,42€ difference compared with offer 1. Additionally Offer 3 has no rails and when I buy the 826A-N4 backplane I can still try to sell the SAS2-826-EL1 backplane
What do you think?
