Seems like an OK deal, but I've been wrong before

- Taken directly from dealnews.com

Mwave offers the factory-refurbished Sans Digital 8-Bay RAID Storage Tower with 6Gbps PCle Card, model no. TR8M+B, for $139.99 with free shipping. That's $141 below the lowest total price we could find for a new unit. This enclosure can hold up to eight 3.5" SATA hard drives with a max capacity of 32TB. It also supports JBOD, spanning, and RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, and 5+. A 90-day Sans Digital warranty applies.

read the reviews on amazon ans egg 1st guys... i like my data live not waiting for RMA
 
Looking at the reviews on this, I think I'll pass.
 
I can't say anything about the chassis, but I don't have a particularly high regard for the RocketRaid 620 controller they include with it.
 
Their enclosures are better than the card that come with them. I have a TR4M-B that has been rock solid using onboard eSATA.
 
I'm using the
Sans Digital MobileSTOR MS4UM+B 4 Bay with eSATA Port Multiplier and USB 3.0
as an eSATA JBOD and it works great with ZFS. I had read about problems using USB, but I specifically avoided that option.
 
On a side note, I always found the name "Sans Digital" amusing in a french sort of way...
