<div dir="ltr">I second Paul's recommendation. I use that JBOD in my environment as well and it has been very solid compared to other vendor hardware I have used in the past. I actually got the everything from them, <a href="http://www.areasys.com">www.areasys.com</a> for server and JBOD.</div>

I have had good luck with equipment from DataOnStorage.com. Not
only reasonably priced and reliable, but they also sell a piece of
software (which does run on OmniOS) called OSM, which allows a
command line interface to identify (i.e. blinking lights) for the
enclosure and disks in the enclosure. Very useful when replacing a
failing disk.<br>
<br>
Other recommendations:<br>
<ul>
<li>highly recommend using SAS over SATA disks</li>
<li>having 2 SAS cables connecting the JBOD to the server</li>
<li>use 6Gb/s SAS for everything (it has more reliability features
than 3 Gb/2 SAS)</li>
<li>use LSI JBOD cards (such as the LSI SAS 9207-8e)</li>
</ul>
<p>hope this helps,<br>
