Turning supermicro SC933 into JBOD case (ghetto style) #1

This is the first video before I have it all ready for JBOD status w/ SAS expander. Don't have the fans volt modded yet or backplane hoked up. Because of this you can see the ghettoness I did to get the backplane (which was too high for the case) with the use of two risers (one flexible one UIO supermicro that I had laying around) to get the card properly mounted in the machine. I have two of these setup filled with 15x3TB each.

@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.

my chassis makes the exact same noise when you pull the power, so cute :3
