I was wondering if anyone besides me uses SATA port expanders. These can be run from one SATA port and fan out into 5 SATA drives. They can also be cascaded to 15 disks.
This is now a low cost motherboard can handle 45-60 hard disks in a rack mounted server.
The SATA III expanders I have cost < $20 and backblaze uses models that are slightly more expensive.
