FrozenGamer Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Does anyone own one of these? If so how fast are parity checks and with how many drives? Is this just a jbod or does it have room for motherboard etc? What is a good card to pair it with? How is power draw? Quote Link to comment
hawihoney Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) This is a JBOD DAS. No rear connectors for a motherboard. It has two backplanes (24 and 21 drives). You can connect an external HBA like LSI-9300-8e at the IN-ports at the rear and connect other DAS enclosures at the OUT-ports at the rear. The backplanes come with expanders for these connections. On the pictures you can see EL2 type backplanes. These have expander and failover features. These boxes are heavy, professional and loud as hell. I love them. I've build several SC846 with corresponding DAS enclosures for Unraid. The biggest had 72 drives. With the current Unraid license rules you need several licenses and HBAs passed thru because 45 drives require two or more arrays. I would like to build new systems with SC847 DAS but I don't know how to pass thru 21 drives to a second array instead of an additional HBA. I have some fear that Unassigned Devices has problems with dozens drives on the main page. https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/chassis/4U/847/SC847E26-RJBOD1 ***Edit***: The mentioned system with 72 drives, 3 enclosures, 2*2690v2, Nvidia 1050ti, 3*HBA, 196GB RAM, 2*1TB M.2 draws around 700W.
