Higher quality / small form factor boxes

[tr0910]

Drobo, Qnap Synology all have neat little boxes. The Drobo 5n even has a built in ups. Where could we source something neat like that for using with unRaid?

This U-nas cas is almost a Qnap clone.

I think there is a recent thread here where someone built with this.

The Lian-Li PC-Q25B works very nicely for up to 7 disks with a mini-ITX motherboard.

 

It's a nearly perfect "Plus" machine.

There is also the Node 304. No trayless racks but small form factor:

Looking at building another unRAID box in the next few weeks, will probably be in this case.

I like to think of my Fractal Design Node 304 as a perfect "plus." Using an PCIe card to house a mSATA SSD for cache in addition to the 6 full size 3.5" HDD bays.

you can get 7 drives in that box btw. 6 sata and you can mount an ssd on the outside of of one of the drive cages for the 7th drive

I did try to use buffalo nas with 8hdd swap able tray. It work with no any issue, ups was recornizer via USB port and HDD very cool.

I only concern about it is price and non ecc memory and performance of CPU.

Any recommend for it if using buffalo nas.

First thought when I saw the thread title was 'there will be a post from garycase recommending that Lian-Li case' haha.

DARN !!  You guys just cost me $82.98 !!!    I don't have any use for another UnRAID server right now ... but I couldn't resist the chance to get another PC-Q25B at that price 

... Now you'll cost me another $1500 or so when I decide to "populate" it !!
