[OpenIndiana-discuss] Expanding storage with JBOD

[Hans J. Albertsson]

Actually, it might be even easier to have a few external single disk 
chassis, like ICY BOX IB-351StU3S-B. Deltaco makes a few and there are 
others.

You put a sata-esata adapter in your server and hook up as many external 
boxes as you need.

If you have a rack mount 1U server at home (many do in these turbulent 
times... :-) ) this might be the only reasonable alternative for adding 
just a little capacity.

It gets a bit cluttered, though, so, are there external boxes with space 
for five or so disks, it's own power supply and pass-thru SATA/SAS?
And what would be a cheap controller card to put in your little 1U server?
