Discover the Cluster Options with Open-E JovianDSS

Answers to those questions depend on what kind of configurations you aim to use. Generally speaking, SAS is a point-to-point serial protocol that is no longer than 10 meters which means that with SAS only, there is no chance to put the nodes further than this short distance.

However, there are several deployment possibilities! For example, with Open-E JovianDSS, you can have at least two options for making a stretched cluster configuration with the SAS protocol.
