There were discussions at some point about setting up a storage-centric
list via SNIA or something else fairly 'neutral'.  Never really
materialized, however.

Lists like lopsa-tech and the LISA/USENIX SAGE list are general enough
you might get some good responses.

WRT your question, we've had good luck with the Dell MD1200 line of
JBODs.
