NAS compatible with SAS and iSCSI?

[L33T]

Is anyone aware of any NAS solution with compatibility with 3.5in SAS disks and iSCSI, with at least 4 bays? Thanks.

4 Bays? Check HP Microserver G8

Add any storageserver distribution with iSCSI support.
My suggestion: ZFS with Oracle Solaris or a free fork like OmniOS

More bays.
Use a Norco or SuperMicro case with a Supermicro serverboard

See my howto
http://www.napp-it.org/doc/downloads/napp-it.pdf that supports

Thanks, but it looks like this one is SATA only.

Also, it's very important that it's done via iSCSI (exposing LUNs) instead of files, like ZFS.

It's been hard finding the right hardware at a price reasonable to the client.

1.
You may need to add a SAS HBA like LSI 9207, LSI 9211 or a cheap IBM 1015

2.
On ZFS you can create a logical unit from a file, a ZFS filesystem (zvol) or a raw disk.
From this logical unit, you create a target/Lun

What kind of budget not including drives?

 

[L33T]

Actually the drives have already been purchased. They're a set of four 2TB SAS drives. It's preferable to keep the cost under $700.

Unfortunately, devices like Synology won't work (they're all SATA, except at the very high end).
