[OmniOS-discuss] supermicro 3U all-in one storage system

[Matej Žerovnik]

As far as I see, there are no 4Kn 4TB SAS drives, only 6TB.

From performance view, is there any different between 4Kn or 512e that is formated with ashift=12?

I did have problems with getting sas3ircu and sas3flash utils from LSI page working, but in the end, I had to get an older version (5.00) for it to work (I got it from nexenta github repo).

I know it’s not a long era, but so far so good:) I also have around 180 Seagate Constellation 4TB SATA drives (ST4000NM0033) for over 3 years and only one or two drives died.
