It's A Digital Disease!

Hello Dear,

I have a server with a 24-bay 3.5" SAS2 expansion (BPN-SAS2-846EL) backplane, which seems to be malfunctioning. I am looking to replace it, as I am running cloud storage where speed is critical. I want a backplane without expansion capability, and I plan to use 24TB WD Red Pro hard drives.

My question is: what backplane and HBA card would be the best option for me? I was considering the BPN-SAS-846A, but I couldn't find much information about its speed.

Here are the server details:

• Chassis: Supermicro 846, 24-bay 3.5"
• Motherboard: Supermicro X11DPI-NT, dual socket 3467
• CPUs: 2x Xeon Gold 6148
• RAM: 12x Samsung 32GB DDR4 2666 MHz ECC REG (M393A4K40CB2-CTD RDIMM)
• Expansion Card: ASUS Hyper M.2 X16
• NVMe SSDs: 8x WD Red SN700 NVMe SSD 4TB
• Hard Drives: 24x 24TB WD Red Pro

I appreciate any recommendations or insights you can provide.

Thank you!
