I may be recycle-gifted a decommissioned 15 drive array (each 2 TB HGST).
Sounds cool, but I don't want to run them in their big wind tunnel rack,
and so far I haven't seen any (currently available) consumer/small business
4 to 8 bay NAS that support SAS drives. Anyone have any suggestions in that
direction?
