I recently speced this exact hardware for a customer. When the customer called
HP to order, HP told them that it is not appropriate for a database. They
cited shorter life of the SATA drives and overall performance.
Is it true? I don't know. I have used SATA enclosures for databases for
sometime and have been quite happy with them.
You may also to look at the ml30 which is SCSI.
