Re: 9406 515 vs 8203 E4A

if you have a 6 or 8 core, you can put a 5887 off the SAS port,
and that same internal CEC Disk controller will drive all 32 drives.

There's quite a bit of evidence suggesting that the same 32 drive configuration would work off the 4-core 720 SAS port, but it's not permitted in the configurator for "marketing reasons". Dr Franken should test that. Just order a refurbished 5887 w/ disks off Ebay.
