June 24, 201412 yr Hi guys, I've been looking around in search of a cheap storage solution and found the link below. Seems to be the cheapest I can find with everything else being a huge price jump. Is this product a good buy? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=231263065566&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
June 24, 201412 yr Only you can decide if this meets your needs -- note that although it's got 15 storage bays for hard drives, it does not come with any drives ... so the real cost will be far more than what you'll pay for the chassis. You'll also need to buy an UnRAID license if you want to use more than 3 drives.

I just want something with a substantial amount of storage with some disaster recovery capability to store my media library and some of my personal files and Final Cut Pro projects. Is there anything you can see with the linked divide that would be problematic or you would advice against?
June 24, 201412 yr Author Make sure the controllers support greater than 2TB drives, ie 3-4 TB drives. I think it only supports up to 2TB.
June 24, 201412 yr Author That case alone is worth the asking price. I have three of them! Just took a look at your rig, so it's pretty loud then? That could be a problem, the room this would go in is not climate controlled - it's very cold in the winter but no A/C in the summer.

I replaced them with much quieter fans, but its still quite loud.
