I just had this idea of exploring eSATA since most machines already have an eSATA port. So if I don't get this working, it's not a big deal. But, I think it could be a cheap alternative to SAS / FC interconnect.
Then take the supermicro chassis without motherboard, get an eSATA to SATA connector, connect it to a port multiplier and then to the 16 drives and see if that works.
Are the Centos drivers for SATA port multiplexers solid these days? Are there any differences?
