SCSI is never inexpensive. Sometimes I spell it $C$I. I'm not
familiar with SuperMicro GEM enclosures, perhaps someone who is could
comment on the quality level.
I'm using dozens of them. I once had an issue where any drive in slot 2
of one of them would always get marked dead after a few days. I had a
spare enclosure, so I swapped it on a Saturday night. Worked fine, so I
sent the other back to SuperMicro. The sent me a new one in return.
So, one problem out of many years of many of them in service, I'd say
they're fine. The warranty department is good too, FWIW.

Thanks, that confirms what I'd thought.
