What's the maximum number of drive bays in a 1U server

[Mark R]

Let's say I wanted to build a high density storage system.

What's the maximum ratio of drives per U that are readily available?

Like, are there any chassis where you can horizontally stack the drives 2 deep, for uber storage?

Thats a 3U chasis.

Most 1U's come with 3 drives max. I dont know of any chasises that stack them deep; its bad for airflow.

Whoa. Now this is what I call high-density storage.

42 3.5" hot-swap drive bays in 4U

In 1 u the max is 4 drives mostly due to height issue, if you go to 2u you can get 8 3u 12 or 15
