Hi there,
I know its kinda silly question... but I was thinking about trying to expand my Qnap TS-EC1279U-RP. Since it only has 12 drive bays which are all occupied already...
So they offer these REXP 12xx and REXP 16xx which are insanely expensive (as far as I could tell) if they are just JBOD enclosures... which are connected thru SAS6GB or 12GB to the main unit... as far as I saw / know.
So I thought why not just take a Supermicro JBOD chassie? Should do the same? Or is my mind playing tricks on me ))
Any one who tried that / knows that? Or think he knows it
Thanks for your input guys.
Regards,
Yves
