I need to expand into a larger chassis that will hold more drives. Existing chassis is a cheap-o Rosewill or some such.
I found Supermicro CSE-833T-R760B brand new online for $250 shipped.
It has 8 x 3.5 bays plus 2 x 5.25 bays in case I need to add more later.
My concern is over the PSU/Distributor. I'd like to know if it supports Dual Processors. The Supermicro site for the Chassis says that it supports dual CPU, but from the few pictures that I can see of it, I can only see a single CPU connector.
Also, how exactly does a "triple redundant" PSU/Backplane work? It has 3 x 380W PSUs for a total of 760W. How is that better/worse than 2 x 760W PSUs?
