  1. are you trying to build a new system around the LSI card and then "shuffle" disks to the new system one at a time as you can clean them off in the old system?  Just trying to understand your workflow.

     

    I don't think there's a definitive right/wrong answer to your fan question.  As long as there's decent airflow through your case it's probably fine without a fan, but adding one wouldn't hurt anything.

    Hey guys im looking for some suggestions, I'd like to get something with a good number of drive bays that is rack mountable I've currently got 3 HDD's 2 4TB WD Red drives an old 2TB and a 1TB WD Blue M.2 SSD.

     

    I am wanting something that has like a SAS/SATA backplane and has room for maybe like 8-16 3.5" drives.

     

    Also I am currently running a 7600K and am feeling the need for some more cores at a good price and was thinking about 1950x any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks

    search ebay for "3u server chassis" and you'll get tons of options that will hold up to 16 3.5" drives.  May need to do some googling on the model numbers offered to confirm if the backplane is included, motherboard form factor compatibility, and so on.  Something like this seems like it'd be a good fit, but again do your research first:

    I'm running a 1950x now ad am happy with it, plenty of cores for everything I've come up with thus far.  With Threadripper gen 3 just about to drop prices on these have been going way down.
