[Box Backup] [OT ] - Products that connect many disk to a server?

[Victor Meirans]

Interesting... Are they available in Europe?

I am also planing a BB server, so, if possible, could you please share 
your opinion about another piece of hardware...

It's an Intel Storage Server SSR212MC2. I would like to use FreeBSD on 
it, or RedHat or SuSE (which is better for BB?) if there are driver 
issues with it.

Link to product page:

Thanks in advance.
