Is it worth replacing a working Norco 4224 with a Rosewill 4412?

[Riverhawk]

Probably overthinking this, but I'm about to put together a new build to replace my functioning unRAID server. I mysteriously was able to put a build together with the Norco 8 years ago, but I'll be honest when I say backplane talk confuses me and I don't know how the case/sata can limit my system.

 

Replacing all the hardware, but should I reuse the Norco case? Any benefit to buying the Rosewill? I would think copying data to the new drives/build would be easier with less down time.

 

If I reuse the case, I would think I would have to swap my parity with a new larger drive and add the other new drives then unbalance it with the plugin. Then swap the old internals with the new build keeping the new parity and data drives.

 

Thanks for the advice.
