tritron Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I want to build new nas using sc836 X8DTI-F will it support 8tb hard drives ? I am using supermicro motherboard mbd-x11ssl-fq and thinking about getting xeon E3-1235L or is there better cpu to use. I want to run emby, couchpotato, transmission. I have 7 8tb western digital drivers and 7 4tb to 6tb drives. What you guys think 16 bays or 24 ? Quote Link to comment

Didn't know that a backplane can limit the disk size (bytes). I Never saw a "Maximum disk size" in backplanes specs. However I don't have much experience with backplanes, so good to know.
