I've got a Dell server with a PERC 6/E attached to a Dell MD1120. It works very well and I'm very pleased with it's performance.
I'm now on the hunt for a disk based backup system. My initial thought is to purchase a basic 1U JBOD enclosure and use the unused connector on the PERC card. However, I've not been able to find anyone else who's used a PERC 6/E with a simple enclosure.
I'm looking at a couple of different models, but I'm open to any others. I plan to use 4 X 1.5TB SATA drives in a RAID 0 configuration. The models I'm looking at are:
1. Enhance Technologies R4 ML
2. iStarUSA dAGE104U40-ML
The physical connections seem correct, they use a SFF8470 connection same as the PERC.
Does anyone have any experience using a cheap enclosure with a PERC 6?
Thanks in advance!
