Any update on this?
I know this is a very old post but I'm planning on doing a similar build with an Xserve Raid case that I'm going to buy for 100€ today.
I guess that xxredxpandaxx just got bored of posting the updates or something failed and he gave up everything lol
Would be nice to know the final status of this project and if you managed to get all the drives working. I'm planning to put 10 2TB WD Enterprise SAS drives inside, anyway, I will create a new post for that build
Anyway, thanks for this post as you helped me decide to buy the case!
