It seems that you're talking about so called splitted backplane for SCSI
disks.
Instead having all disks on one bus, you can have them on two different
buses and two different channels.

With best regards,

Iggy

Two SCSI channels with four drives each is the only sensible explanation.

Nope, it's not. And the only sensible answer is to look it up
and repeat what you find instead of speculating what is can be.

Even more sensible is to kick OP's lazy butt and tell him to look it up himself.

I have tried. I did not see it so I inquired.

I haven't been following this group all that long, but quite long enough to
know that the proper place for "Squeeze" is in a twit filter. By all means
decide for yourself, but you'll not lose any useful information by following
my advice on that score.

In case it's just a single channel 2-row of 4 cage you can just ask Mikey
your re-stocking fee back. That is IF you are allowed to return it at all.

If a server has a dual channel SCSI controller usually the expression
2x4 *split* backplane is used, not just "2x4 backplane ".
