So, you are pointing towards the external jbod solution? The Dell chassis seems a bit dated to me...
It can't be any more dated than the MD1000. (though I didn't look up your server)
Do you want the possibility to expand (MD1000) versus having to replace 8 drives later?
I found some posts talking about MD1000 being picky with drives, don’t accept >4Tb… what do you think about that?
Well, considering I have 8x 8TB drives in mine, I'd say those posts are full of shit. I've had HGST and Seagate Ironwolf's in it.
It depends on the HBA you use, not the MD1000. The MD1000 is nothing more than a long cable attached to your server's internal RAID card.
Maybe there's a firmware or something for the MD1000, that may have been done when I did a system-wide firmware/drive update on the server via Dell Server Update Utility.
