We have 14 500GB PATA drives left over from another project. Given that ZFS seems to prefer working with jbod''s, does anyone know of an inexpensive enclosure with an fcal interface to host the disks? This message posted from opensolaris.org
We''ve used enclosures manufactured by Xyratex (http://www.xyratex.com/). Several RAID vendors have used these disk in their systems. One reseller is listed below (the one we used got bought out). I''ve been very happy with these enclosures and a Qlogic HBA. As we have retired some of the RAID arrays I''m redeploying the drives in ZFS pools. We have the fiber channel and the SATA versions of their enclosure and both work well. http://pacdata.com/index.php?page=766437.txt This message posted from opensolaris.org
