Looking for one with caddies, single PSU and single IO card is okay. Looking for a friend in the Bay Area.

Bump. These are nice DAS setups. I've been running one for awhile - hard to find simple disk shelves that are short depth like these.

I've got one that I'm probably looking to offload and I'm in the bay area.
2x PSU, single IO, 4-6 caddies, original box, something like a 9200-8e.

PM me with an offer?

If you do wind up getting an SA120, make sure to get a 2nd p/s so that the fans will slow down. Makes a huge difference. You can get the higher wattage p/s for much cheaper that works just fine.

Unfortunately the days of cheap SA120's seems to be over.
The fans are controllable through command line. There's a Python script for it out there somewhere.

If you get your JBOD, I bought way too many 9200-8e cards and 9205-8e cards for higher IOPS, and both short and tall brackets for each card. Local pickup $40 each for the 9200-8e or $60 each for the 9205-8e including both brackets, all flashed up to the latest firmware. I also have some extra SFF-8088 cables - super short ~18" ones good for daisy chaining JBODs for $7 each, and a few 1M ones for $12 each.
