Hi folks,
I'm in the market for a couple of JBODs. Up until now I've been relatively
lucky with finding hardware that plays very nicely with ZFS. All my gear
currently in production uses LSI SAS controllers (3801e, 9200-16e, 9211-8i)
with backplanes powered by LSI SAS expanders (Sun x4250,
Peter,
You may consider DataON JBOD. Lots of users are using DataON JBOD for ZFS
storage. Yes, LSI SAS HBA is the best choice for ZFS

We've got a SC847E26-RJBOD1. Takes a bit of getting used to that you
have to wire it yourself (plus you need to buy a pair of internal
SFF-8087 cables to connect the back and front backplanes - incredible
SuperMicro doesn't provide those out of the box), but other than that,
never had a problem
I've had perfect success with the SuperMicro SC847E25-RJOB1 It has two back
planes and holds 45 3.5 inch drives. It's built as a JBOD so it has
everything that is needed.

Peter,
Could you please give info or links to clarify Sata tunneling protocol
nonsense issues?
Also have you considered Supermicro's 45 drive in 4U enclosure - The
SC847E26-RJBOD1 ? It's cheap too at around 2000$ and based on LSI backplanes
anyway.
SGI has a nice and crazy 81(!) 3.5 disks in
I'm quite happy with my HP D2700 and D2600 enclosures. I'm using them with
LSI 9205-8e controllers and NexentaStor, but MPxIO definitely works. You
will need to find HP drive traysŠ They're available on eBay.

They're available for $1000US on eBay, fully ZFS-friendly and hold 70 x
3.5 disks. The only downside is that they were introduced as 3G SAS
units. I
Trying again:
Intel just released those drives. Any thoughts on how nicely they will
play in a zfs/hardware raid setup?

Seems interesting - fast, assumed reliable and consistent in its IOPS
(according to marketing talk), addresses power loss

Anandtech.com has a thorough review of it. Performance is consistent
(within 10-15% IOPS) across the lifetime of the drive, has capacitors to
flush RAM cache to disk, and doesn't store user data in the cache. It's
also cheaper per GB than the 710 it replaces.

Well, I think I give up for now. I spent quite a few hours over the last
couple of days trying to get gnome desktop working on bare-metal OI,

What was wrong with the suggestion to use VMWare ESXi and Nexenta or
OpenIndiana to do this?

So it depends on your setup. In your case if it's at all painful to grow the
LUNs, what I'd probably do is allocate new 4TB LUNs - and replace your 2TB
LUNs with them one at a time with zpool replace, and wait for
