Hey all.
I hope this isn't old news that I completely missed
After seeing the part @ CEBIT, and being unsure if I had imagined it a few days later, I mailed Chenboro, asking for confirmation.
Here is their reply I just received:
I am pretty happy about these news, if it's competitively priced, and uses the same LSI SAS2X36 that is used in all SuperMicro chassis, it will be a end to the compatibility issues we've been having with SAS expanders at a reasonable price, and those cards can be powered without a slot to stick them in, as opposed to the HP expander.

Subject: Chenboro SAS2 Expander Info
Hello!
I am wondering if Chenboro has a SAS2 / 6G expander in the works to replace the old CK13601 or similar cards ?
Thanks!
