  • ARC 1882x with PROAVIO !

    Posted by Ahmed Sajid on June 24, 2012 at 7:42 am

    Hi All,

    I have decided to set-up a new raid for my MacPro 3.1

    The raid card would be the ARC1882x.

    I would like to start off with a 8-bay enclosure from PROAVIO.

    I have used one of their 16-bay FC enclosures at a facility before for about 2 years with no issues.

    So here is the question. If I get a usual 8-bay enclosure, like the EB800MS, and in the future I want to expand, is it possible for me to buy one of their expander units, like the EBSX, and connect the EB800MS at the end of the chain ?

    I am not sure how expanders work, as in do they all have to be expansion systems in a chain, or we can have a non-expander at the end of the chain ?

    Also, to confirm, the EB800MS from powermax is 3gb/s ? Is there a 6gb/s version available? Where can I buy one ?

    Thanks a lot,

    Sajid
