Thanks so much guys. It's been so long since I even had to buy a controller card (MFM/RLL/IDE) days that I wasn't sure who would have the right stuff. I really appreciate the advice!

Hi. I'm looking to move on from Synology since they now require their drives. I'd like a tower with 12-16 bays, hot swappable preferably. Any suggestions for a case? Also, as I'm unfamiliar with what's out there hardware wise for something like this, if anybody has any suggestions for motherboards to go with it, it would be greatly appreciated. I was very interested in the Ryzen DS2422+ but it's not worth the vendor lock. Thanks!
