Bad ASCII diagram follows (D=disk, C=controller H=host):

    SATA   ____
D -------|    |  SCSI   ________
D -------| C  |--------|    H   |
D -------|    |        |________|
D -------|____|

(etc. up
to 16
drives)

The drives and the controller go in the Chenbro case.  U320 SCSI from the
RAID controller in the Chenbro case to the 1U server.
