Re: Planning 2-node JBOD SAS

I have some more questions as this project comes together. 1. Since each JBOD is going to be connected directly its server via SAS, is there any benefit to connecting the JBOD devices to each other? 2. In some posts, it says that there's no reason to use anything besides SATA drives. In others, it s...

Planning 2-node JBOD SAS

Hello, I am planning to deploy 2 JBODs to retire my Equallogic SAN and NetApp NAS. I was thinking of going with DataOn, but read in this forum that I should use SuperMicro or Intel. Servers: Fujitsu RS200 S7 with SAS HBA, running Windows Server 2012 R2 JBODs: Any recommendations are welcome. I was s...
