I am looking for information about SAS drive enclosures, is there a list like NANOG that covers that area of IT?
I am specifically looking for an enclosure that can handle 12 or more drives, I am looking to create a clustered file system between multiple servers and would like to avoid a drive enclosure that only works with a very small number of approved drives. I am looking to support traditional HDDs as well as SSDs.
There were discussions at some point about setting up a storage-centric list via SNIA or something else fairly 'neutral'. Never really materialized, however. Lists like lopsa-tech and the LISA/USENIX SAGE list are general enough you might get some good responses. WRT your question, we've had good luck with the Dell MD1200 line of JBODs. Ray
