Even if I need a Fscking NDA with Marvel, the support is 1A.

Also I have an Application Engineer from my Distributor which is an  Ex-
Marvel-Employee...  Fortunately he know, what he is talking about!

I have a Chinese Manufacturer which build 2"5  Dual-SATA  Racks  in  the
size of a Floppy-Drive. I have disassembled it to use only one SATA-Disk
and put in the place of the second SATA-Drive the PCB.

So, you an get a compact Server including one SATA Disk in the  size  of
WxHxD 100x25x135mm.  However, I will try  to  rebuild  the  outer  frame
(maing it longer) to leave the 2 SATA drives and put the PCB behind  the
SATA Drives.  Also there will be enough place to use SO-DIMM.

This mean, I can use a standard 3U with up to  16  compact  Mini-Servers
and each 2 SATA/SAS Drives.

Any comments?

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
