Anyone know if these have been discontinued? I cannot find any retailers that can get them. Anyone have a source for a CK13601?

They have them at provantage for $308.34. (link)
Damn it, that sucks. I haven't found any other Sas expanders besides the Chenbro.
I haven't been able to find a single place that has them in stock unfortunately. I planned on ordering one next week too. So I guess you called provantage and they said that they won't be able to get one in?
That leaves pretty much no other SAS expanders that can just be bought on their own.I ordered one and a week later they canceled the order saying that the part had been discontinued.
Chenbro doesn't sell things directly. I've been calling vendors (and Chenbro) for the past couple hours and if I find one that will order one for me, I'm definitely up for a group buy. I'm after the UEK-13601 and not just the card alone too (so it has been even harder to find). I have managed to find the CK12803 in stock, but it only has 16 ports for drives. If I get any results, I'll definitely let everyone know.Order direct from Chenbro?
Maybe [H] members who want em could do a bulk order?
i got lucky and found a kickass sas expander with 16 bays and redundant 450w psu's for $750 shipped on ebay. hooks right up to my 1680ix-24. just takes patience![]()
Sent you a PM about that in case you miss it.I have a UEK13601 which uses the 36 port card with the micro-itx? mount. Wish I could find another (or preferably a CK13601 so it has the faceplate. I'm trying out the new(I'm assuming) HP SAS expander instead.
I saw that they had them as well. If they can get one, see if they can get two (as I want one too). I haven't managed to call them yet today. They also seem to have the UEK-12803.I've got CDW trying to get one of the CK13601s for me.
I called them and it was the same as CDW and every other store. They could only guess about availability and time frame.http://www.pcconnection.com/IPA/Shop/Product/Detail.htm?sku=9793318
Says on order. Maybe call in and ask?
