Thanks to everyone who answered. I didn’t provide any details because as the saying goes, one picture is more than 1000 words worth…
Yes, the “System 1” is a JBOD with a SAS/SATA 16 Ports backplane, that will run a mix of sata/sas/ssd’s hard drives. This must go with no witchcrafting to the “System 2”, as … pictured.
I also consider a 4 x 8644 external HBA, but until now I only managed to find some LSI/Broadcom/Avago cards that are too hot and maybe fake chinese ones, with no guarantee of data/firmware/functionality. And the prices are also too high.

I,m already over my buget.
Have you seen this video about the combinations possible with supermicro backplanes?
