SAS Expander

[mike938]

After searching for expanders I came across the pci slot compatible SAS Expanders from Chenbro. However, when searching to actually purchase one of these units, I am unable to find them in stock anywhere. Were these units pulled from production or are they hard to find for some reason?
If anyone knows where to possibly purchase one (or more) I'd love to know.

Thanks

I looked at them as well, from what I found out they have not been released yet.

I did email Chenbro but heard nothing, also spoke to the UK importer and they equally didn't have a lead time or any additional information (except for the user manual).

There seems to be a lot of issues with expanders and Sata-II drives not working correctly.

Here is the manual, last updated a year ago. User Manual

I just got off with a store that claimed low availability on its website and they told me that its discontinued. This seems kind of odd that it would be discontinued to me though. I guess there just aren't really expanders for DIYers at this point.
