SHNOOL 10/25/2011 5:58:56 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 4/5Works well, and inexpensive Pros: We purchased this for Just A Bunch of Disks (JBOD) for our server rack. We using it for CHEAP STORAGE, to backup files to using Backup Exec. We needed something that would talk SAS because we already had a MINI SAS controller that was backing up our Enterprise to TAPE. Surprisingly Dell/HP/IBM didn't sell a cheap solution. With (4) 2TB drives, giving us a cool 8TB of storage, we "extended" a small rackmount server that already had 3TB of storage in it for backups. 11TB of hard disk space for backups! HOW COOL IS THAT, all for ~$500 for the device and ~$400 for drives! Cons: Not a huge knock, but the rails are designed for round hole racks, we have square. Our clips don't properly line up to these rails. I bet it lines up fine in a round hole telco rack though. Other Thoughts: This is a device built to be used for tons of cheap storage. It isn't a RAID set (but Sans Digital sells those too)... but for JBOD, this is perfect, and does so inexpensively, reliably, and simply. What else could you want? Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
