Is this just the backplane or full server chassis?

It’s just the backplane.

Here’s a good deal on a CSE826 system from them. You’d need RAM, CPU’s, and an HBA.

Supermicro CSE-826 Chassis w/ X9DRI-LN4F+ Systemboard

new deal, new thread please so it can be tracked and commented upon.

Could anybody who has received tracking info confirm when their order was placed? I ordered Nov 1 0400 EST & invoice still shows "pending". Expecting cancellation, as vendor removed price from item listing.

 

[Fritz]

Mine shipped the same day tracking number was provided. October 31.

Just received tracking, pleasantly surprised. Emailed support before ordering to ask if metal bracket included, but no response yet. Will update after receipt (eta Sat 11/5).

If its like the 826 backplanes the bracket from another (SAS2) can probably be removed and installed on the SAS3 backplane (unless they moved the screw holes which I tend to doubt)

I contacted them yesterday and they now want $475.

Bummer, sad I missed out on this deal.

Got it installed in a chassis and all is good. I was expecting to run into the 16 drive limit I've read about somewhere here but it didn't happen. All 24 drives are detected. HBA is a SM AOC.

For HDD though any difference in perf?

For HDD though any difference in perf?

with 1 SFF-8087 uplink its the v1 @ SAS3 speeds, so it should be able to do up to 250MB/s per drive, which is about the fastest a spinner will go

 

[cesmith9999]

not really a perf increase, there is a throughput increase. Not really viewable from a performance perspective as you are still limited by spinning disks.

the big difference is that you can use larger disks than sas2 version that is basically limited to a few large disks or 24 2 TB disks

I think you meant SAS1 ?

I've yet to see any issue with SAS2 and disks >2TB.
