That's a lot more reasonable, even with shipping. I'll do a bit of research, but at least if I get the rear part, it allows me to use the front slots for SSDs and SFF disks as well. I assume I'll need a disk controller card for the rear cage assembly as well. This is a really helpful forum. Thanks so much.

I'm not seeing a rear expansion bay, but maybe I missed it. Unfortunately mine came with the 8 slot front SFF and the optical drive bay. It looks like I can source the LFF slots, but it's pretty expensive ($300 as the lowest I've seen in Europe), but it's probably a better long-term solution than using my 8 slots. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the assist. Did you get the 10TB SFFs for the front and bought extra drive caddies? I prefer WD anyway, so I will have a look. I assume you updated the BIOS to see the drive?

Thanks a lot for the help. I'll definitely see if I can get the parts locally. How is performance for you? I assume it will be pretty good, but I haven't set it up for unRAID yet, so I can't tell. The manual is great help for everything including part numbers.

As you guys seem quite familiar with the model, I have a few questions to ask if you're willing to humor me. I am based in Europe and I have a DL380p Gen 8 that I am considering using as my new unRAID server, but I have a few questions. Firstly, mine (secondhand) comes with a few 600 GB drives, but I'd like to buy a few more and replace the 600s with higher capacity. What is the largest capacity drives could I use to replace the drives in the trays and does it have to be HP SAS drives, as I don't fancy paying for HP drives for personal use. Second question: I have the model that has 8 trays on the right and a DVD drive on the left. How do I fit more drives or, if possible, how do I change the front panel to allow for more drives (I believe the limit is 25)? Lastly, is it worth it, or should I just buy a full tower with lots of space for drives and use that instead? I have been using unRAID on a HP mini tower for a few years now, but the speed and capacity is starting to be a little limiting. Thanks for everyone's time.

Hi, I experienced the same issue. i think it's related to the update pending message that appears, assumes focus, but sits out of the screen. I also uninstalled and reinstalled to fix it. However, the problem seemed to go away when I increased the resolution of my FileZilla docker. Another thing to try is to change the setting that displays new updates when they are available. Hope that helps.
