Question Recommended vendors for rack mount JBOD 12G/s SAS enclosures

[janderscu]

We are building a distributed data archiving system that must accept multiple .. up to 200 ... 2.5 and 3.5" drives to be accessible through some custom software ... so our plan is to have a few PC's with 12 G/s SAS ports to be connected to external JBOD enclosures. There's a lot of vendors for this with wide price range. I have found a few from the vendor RAID Machine that provide rackmount enclosures up to 24 drives per enclosure at a good price point for that capacity, But I wonder about quality and reliability. Does anyone have specific recommendations for vendors to focus on for this type of thing or know anything about RAID Machine? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated

There's several rack mount JBOD 12G/s SAS enclosures makes. I couldn't find any reviews. I think it's something you'll have to do yourself and look for features and options that would help you.
