I can get an HP SC08e for a reasonably good price - about 1/3rd of a new LSI 9200-8e, which by all accounts it is a rebadge of.
Does anyone know if it will be compatible or not with non-HP hardware, or is it "locked" somehow?
I intend to use it as JBOD with ZFS, like an external version of the venerable M1015.
