@guilhermepga That is correct. I have one ARC-1880x controller with two external miniSAS (SFF-8088) each which goes to a SC933 with 15x3 TB disks in it. I then have one raid6 array that is 30x3TB (84 TB usable) which goes over both chassis. I get about 1.7 gigabytes/sec read, 1.1 gigabytes/sec write and power usage is around 250 watts with all 30 disks powered on 250 watts total for both chassis.
