Andrew B. Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I'm looking to get an inexpensive miniSAS JBOD enclosure to experiment with zfs and my server has no more room. This was the cheapest I could find. Any reason not to get it? http://www.istarusa.com/en/istarusa/products.php?model=DAGE440DE-MS Quote Link to comment
Energen Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Looks fine to me, don't know why it wouldn't be ok. It's literally just a box with some connections... Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Should be fine, but if you're going to use it with SATA drives don't forget the max cable length is 1 meter, since it doesn't have an expander. Quote Link to comment

Thanks. Is it the sum of the external cable and internal sata cable? So 0.5m SFF8088 and 0.5m SFF to Sata should be OK? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Yes, total length from HBA to disks. Quote Link to comment
