thats a stunningly bad way to go about it.
A) if you want JBOD, use a SAS/SATA enclosure with a SAS host card, as SATA doesn't support multichannel multiplexing.
mmm, I didn't think of this :)
or B) if you want a SAN, use iSCSI or FCoE or something.
As I said, I'm trying todo something cheaper. These are super expensive in our country.
or C) if you want a NAS, use NFS. this is the best solution for many applications.
We already use iSCSI, which is a bit quicker than NFS
I'm merely exploring this "new" technology, seeing as so many vendor incorporate it into cheap NAS devices (which are normally limited to 2 - 5 drives) to see if it could actually be used on a bigger scale.
