Hey Guys and Gals,
I work in a DataCenter, and recently we've removed about 10 - 20 Supermicro 36/24/12/8/4 bay servers. I ripped apart one of the 36 bays to find out what kind of Backplane it has. It has a BPN-SAS2-846EL2/847EL2. Now, my question is; are these worth my time? Can I stick 6TB Drives in it? 8TB? 10TB? 12TB?
I've got a project, and if I can succeed in doing it, I'll have 100+ 6TB drives in 2 Full Size Towers. If I'm successful in that endeavor and cooling isn't a problem, I'm going to buy a 900D, and mod it for a storage tower.
