Hello,
I am looking for a chassis that will support 12 3.5" drives plus an additional 1x SSD. Do not want to spend over $250. The Norco/Supermicro's are too big/bulky for me as server will be sitting in my bedroom.
I currently have the Fractal Design R4, which I will most likely stick with. It supports 8x 3.5" drives, but I also have 2x 5.25" to 3.5" rails so I can get a total of 10 drives. It is just that there is no fan blowing air on the top 2 drives, which I am a bit paranoid about. On top of that it supports 2x SSD's underneath the motherboard tray.
Just curious if there is a better case out of there to fit more drives. The only one I see so far is the Fractal Design Define XL R2.
Thanks!
