have a look at the supermicro storage servers, 72 drives in one chassis, 4U of cabinet space, so 10 servers in a cabinet....ill let you do the math on the raw disk space in a 42U cabinet
It wouldn't matter. A SAS controller will treat a SATA drive as a SATA drive, but you can't run a SATA controller and expect a SAS drive to act as a SAS drive.
Raptor drives are overblown. I'd rather have capacity. It's not like 7,200 RPM drives are running at ATA100 speeds.
Confusing stuff, you have SATA 3, SATA 6 Gbps, SATA 600 are they all the same?!

What Raid Level would you recommend for a Backup server? Raid-6? Would Raid6 work with a chassis and JBOD chassis?

True however if your a gamer the rpm the disk drives does mean less or more performance.
Using a SSD for your windows system means even more performance.
Since the read time determines some portion of a game.
