I've been thinking about building something like that, but I've had a hard time finding good info about port-multiplier backplanes. The good news is that Backblaze seems to have a working, well-tested config using port multipliers; the bad news is that they thank "James Lee at Chyang Fun Industries in Taiwan for customizing SATA boards to simplify our design". I probably don't have the buying power clout to get James Lee - as nice a guy as he might be - to do that for me. (Although... if they have a few extras left over from the Backblaze build...)
