12 hours ago12 hr Hello everyone,Currently I have a 12tb dive failing and thanks to the world these suckers are like $400+. It is not ideal to replace this drive. So I'm debating the next best options I have. With my license I can have up to 3 more drives. All my other drives are 8tb and a 12tb parity. I'm considering going the route of a jbod due my case not support that many additional drives. I've been doing some research on the LSI and wanted to see if anyone else has found the secret sauce for this. I know the jbod is going to gauge me alittle as well as a new LSI. But over time I think this would be a better fit anyways because I can use more drives and not worry so much about the case my system is in. Scaleability will also be nice because of this as my next big upgrade is going to be moving this all from a desktop case to a servercase and mounting it on a rack. The jbods will be easy enough to find to accomidate this but the real pressure point right now for me is which LSI do I even go with. Does anyone have a current unraid and jbod setup that I could copy your homework and change the name.
