external raid box for areca 1882ix
like the heading says, im currently setup with an areca 1882ix-12 raid array. i have my internal sata drives hooked up to the internal sata ports on the adapter in a raid 5.
looking to toss those drives and buy 8 new drives and build an external raid 6 array. would the areca ARC-4036ML be the box for me?
and should i buy sas drives to go in that thing? not sure of the sas vs sata difference to be honest. TIA

Hi Mark,

No, we don’t sell empty chassis, but we do offer 1-year of unlimited support, and a 3-year warranty.
If you’d like to explore the possibilities you know how to reach me…

thanks for replies guys. yeah i would prefer to get an empty chassis and populate myself for more control and choice.
so im guessing with the ARC-4036ML sas would be for hot swap drives and sata would be for shut it all down then replace bad drive?
