A client of mine desperately wants a Dell solution rather than a
self-build. They are looking at an external Dell box with 15 x 500GB SATA
drives in it and a Dell 1U host controller - but the connection between
them is SAS, and they want to use a (Dell) PERC5e card in the host, so
does anyone know if this is supported in JBOD mode, so I can run s/w
RAID-6 over it, rather than rely on the h/w RAID-5 on the card?

Cheers,

Gordon
