Msan Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I recently switched my case from a Norco 4220 to the NZXT H440 (2nd gen) Here are the results.. Side View Front view with cover and dust screen removed Top view with cover removed.. (added 2 be quiet! Pure Wings 2 120mm 1500RPM 51.4CFM fan's) Top fans viewed from inside Closeup of the drive bays Back side view.. Dont't really care for cable routing there Side shot with system running System is pretty quiet.. I currently have 2 x 3TB WD Red's for parity, 3 x 3TB WD Red's for Data Drives, 1 512GB SSD for Cache and 1 120GB SSD for temp storage. 1000VA/600W APC UPS (BR1000G) Average HDD temp is 26 Celsius. When running parity check average is 27.8C - System temp is 34C - Ambient temp 20.5C Currently pulls 168W at 100% CPU usage and all drives spinning. Will slowly add more 3TB WD Red's.. Should be full by Christmas Link to comment
ashman70 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Nice build! Just curious, why did you decide to go with two parity drives being that you have three data drives in your array? When your case is full, how many total drives will you have in your array? Link to comment

When your case is full, how many total drives will you have in your array? I'll have 9 data drives once the case it full.. I figured I might as well start with 2 parity drives as that will give me protection from 2 failed drives from the start.. Link to comment
methanoid Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I keep looking for someone with the full 11 HDDs in the H440 (2nd version caddies support 2 drives per caddy)... so I can see if airflow is killed dead by a full front of HDDs... Do report when you are full.... Please Link to comment

methanoid Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Don't suppose you have any spare (even dead) HDDs you could pop in? Everyone seems to think the H440 airflow is bad and that puts me off. . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment

I have to add another drive in a day or two, so I'll fill up the rest then as well.. Link to comment

methanoid Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 With default fans? Wow. Default fans plus the two in roof (intake or exhaust). What CPU? I may have to buy it now!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment

Yup, default fans with 2 120mm extra fans for exhaust on the top. Xeon X3360. All other specs are in my signature.. Link to comment
methanoid Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I was again looking at a new case and this came up via search... I forgot to say thanks for the results of the testing.. I really should buy one of these... Link to comment
littlered Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 The thread is a bit old but I am looking at switching my Silverstone DS380 case to the H440 for more 3.5" HDD room. What power supply did you use in your build (sorry, I don't see your signature)? Link to comment
