Recent post about a large JBOD enclosure (72-90 drive Supermicro)?

[depasseg]

Within the past couple weeks (maybe a month), someone commented on a thread and had a link to the one they would buy (something like "the next enclosure I buy will be this" and "this" was a URL) . Does anyone remember what I'm talking about?

I've searched the forums and my browser history. I feel like I'm going crazy.

72bay Server chassis, 3x1280w PSUs included, SKU with 2x2kw available:

90bay JBOD with 2x2kw PSUs and single expander:
http://www.supermicro.nl/products/chassis/4U/847/SC847DE16-R2K02JBOD.cfm
90bay JBOD with 2x2kw PSUs and dual expander:
http://www.supermicro.nl/products/chassis/4U/847/SC847DE26-R2K02JBOD.cfm

45drives offers a 60bay Pod as well now, the Highpoint Rocket 750 seems supported with FreeNAS, direct attached cabling available as well. But 60 bays isn't too big an issue nowadays... :)

Edit: hmm, the 2x2kw is only listed as barebone: http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/4U/6047/SSG-6047R-E1R72L2K.cfm

That's an interesting option if you're running short on rack space. I don't think I would go with that high of density just for heat and vibration sake.

If we would assume that one would pick one 72bay server plus a 90bay JBOD and build 5 of them into one 42U rack... we are at 800 HDD bays in one rack. Total power consumption if all drives are spinning up would be 24kw. just for the drives. PSU inefficiency not considered. :D

However, when spun up, that's closing in to something like 6-8kw. Acceptable density IMHO.

Staggered spinup really becomes a necessity at that point.

@TinTIn is "running a 90 x 4TB solution over three JBODs", maybe it was on one of his threads.

I'm using 3 of these http://www.supermicro.co.uk/products/chassis/4U/847/SC847E26-RJBOD1.cfm
