Hi there,

= Work currently uses 24-bay=20 "RAID Machine ... R4424RM" enclosure
( https://www.pc-pitstop.com/24-bay-12g= -expander-enclosure )
with disks in ZFS RAID-Z[23] pools, connected via SFF-80= 88
or -86= 44 cable to another computer with a Broadcom/LSI 9300-8e
PCIe 3 card in it.

My thinking is that if some= bays in one of the below SuperMicro units
starts to malfunction, then whole of 24-bay sin= gle unit would not have
be sent to repair or to be thrown out.

kind of HBAs etc & cable should I be looking at to c= onnect the 2
enclosures together, and=C2=A0 then to connect them as one unit to a Fr= eeBSD
com= puter.

On a related note, does anyo= ne have experience with SuperMicro
enclosures & warranty repair?

In case of RAID Machine encl= osures, we have at least 6-7 I think. In past,
