January 11, 201313 yr I'm looking at options for a new build I'm putting together. The case I am limited to at the moment looks like it can hold 9 drives max. The limit is that my 'rack' is inside a kitchen tall larder unit and is only 505mm deep, so I need a 450mm or shorter case. This is what I'm thinking of... http://www.xcase.co.uk/X-Case-RM-404s-4u-short-rackmount-p/case-xcase-rm404-v3.htm with a 3 in 2 cage. I have two 8 port RAID cards flashed into an LSI 9211-8 in IT mode. Motherboard choice if I want to run these two cards together is limited and very server board orientated along with the associated cost. What is the experience in the forum of running 8 drives on one card then 1 on the on board SATA port, this could be the cache drive maybe? Would there be any issues transferring data from the cache to the main array by the mover script? I wouldn't have thought so. Any other suggestions on a case would be welcome :-) Thanks
