Norco 3116 $83.00

Norco 3116 NO backplane included.
Do you think its a good deal?

Perhaps not such a great deal..."No backplanes".

 

[TheBay]

Find cheap backplanes, shoehorn something or just run billions of SATA cables

Didn't Norco have issues with backplanes on that chassis, would that explain something?

 

[white-hot]

Not a good deal, backplanes (4 in this case) are $55 each plus shipping. On the other hand, if you needed 16 drive trays this is a good deal since they want like $15 each for them. In fact....
