[OpenIndiana-discuss] Cram more drives into an HP xw8600

[ken mays]

The power supply can handle the smaller drives very easily as they are not high-load devices.

Lots of good input here. 

Can anyone tell me if it is better to have a cage with backplane.

If backplane is just some raid rigamorole... probably useless for this

But would a general sata backplane be any advantage?

Far as I know this server should handle 8 hdd alright since I've been
told that the 8 SAS ports can serve as sata ... that should give me a
total capability of 12 sata ports.

I guess I would assume the power unit is up to that task... can anyone
comment on that?
