December 31, 20187 yr Just been looking for a new case and wondering if this would be compatible or not? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811192419&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Server+-+Chassis-_-N82E16811192419&gclid=Cj0KCQiAmafhBRDUARIsACOKERPtZyaS5WcTiZ5d8mumhfjtT98ghCsMDlAWVo0ESvU4WACWKaag_YcaAqTBEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Athena Power RM-4U4243HE12 12Gb/s 4U Hot-Swap 24-Bay E-ATX Rackmount Server Chassis w/ 12 Gbps Mini-SAS Backplane Supports 24 x 3.5" or 2.5" SAS / SATA SSD / HDD - Support E-ATX (12" x 13") M/B - Supp - OEM
December 31, 20187 yr Author It has a backplane though, that's what I'm asking. I've seen tons of posts of people saying this or that backplane isn't compatible. That was the question
December 31, 20187 yr Depends if the controller / motherboard is compatible with the backplane (and compatible with unRaid). Backplane itself unRaid doesn't care about.
December 31, 20187 yr Author Well the motherboard is Supermicro so I'm sure that works, and the two SATA cards worked with my previous case just fine so I know they are compatible. So it doesn't matter about the backplane then? Alright so I should be good to order this? Sorry if that's a dumb question it's just a large purchase, didn't want to screw it up and have to send it back. Edited December 31, 20187 yr by mikedpitt420

December 31, 20187 yr Author Well just to be safe I'm going to stick with Supermicro 836 that I found a good deal on ebay for. Thanks very much
