Compact case with 8 drive bays SilverStone SST-DS380B SFF Mini-Tower Case https://amzn.to/3i30qSu

I abandoned all hopes for a Drobo (thank god!). Decided to build a robust Unraid server to safely house my 6 terabytes currently of files, currently on my dying Hackintosh, over the network plus gain Unraid’s capabilities. Not looking to do anything crazy so this is a smaller server setup with a compact case. Basically files and stream to my Apple TV’s. My sons may add other stuff like a game server. This setup should work well. SilverStone SST-DS380B SFF Mini-Tower Case - small but the closest thing to a commercial NAS case we could find. Holds 8 Full size drives in a stack, very clean, with a backplane for hotswap. Adding a SATA card to spread the load.

The rest I’ll fill in with Barracudas from my computer as I offload their contents to the server. As need arises I’ll eventually switch out drives to all 8TB Ironwolf.
