    Hi,

     

    It is my first post I am new to unRaid but I read you guys everyday for some times.  I am trying to organize my ideas at the moment for my first build.  I don't need 12-15 drive but maybe around 8-10 so I am looking for a case with six external bays.

     

    I saw these cases today:

    My plan would be to get the S-7B-JB with 2X BPN-DE340SS.  That would give me 8 drives in a nice and clean case.

     

    Somebody tried one of them yet?  Are they good?

     

    thanks!

     

     

     

     

    Take a look at Rajahal's prototype thread in the UCD forum and more specifically this post.  There is a 9 drive budget box build in there that sounds like it could fit the bill for you nicely.

     

    I saw these prototypes and they are nice.  I was just trying to get a case with 6 external bays so there is no empty sections but it is not so important.  I will follow your advice and go for a prototype build for my first one.

     

    Thanks for taking the time to answer.

    Indeed, it looks to be a decent case to put your drives in.  What case will you use for your motherboard/processor, and what connections will you use between the two enclosures.

     

    Well,  to be honest, reading the description on the iStarusa site, I didn't realised it was not a regular case where I could fit a motherbooard/CPU and everything with the drives.

     

    Not so nice for a first post.  Anyway, thanks for your answer.
