HBA-s.. how they work.. so HDD > HBA > motherboard, I would assume.. Any good video/read about HBA-s? (I apologize for being lazy)
128-256 drives? That sounds amazing! Sooo no storage-space(TB/PB) limit? I guess the power consumption per drive would also need to be taken into consideration.
You need sas expanders to get that many drives per sas controller. They often are built into the backplans on sas jbods or drive bacplanes.
There is no limit of TB that would limit you here. You can use the biggest drives you can buy today without a issue.
How many TB do you need in the server total?
