Hardware upgrades.

[MMChris]

So im new to unraid. i did have a freenas sever but found it to difficult to use. 

 

have now moved to unraid os my hardware currently is : 

 

Node 305 case

250w seasonic 2u psu

asrock c2750d4i mobo/cpu ( ITX)

2 x 3TB WD red drive ( from freenas sever). 

1 x 4TB WD red drive ( new going through pre clear) 

1 x 500GB samsung 860 evo ssd

1 x 250GB samsung 840 evo ssd

 

 

I'm going to add 3 more 4TB WD reds to the array.

This means i need a new case, i want a rack mounted case ( don't have a rack yet but will do in future). 

I'm thinking about going for either

( unsure if it supports itx though)

 

or

(unsure if middle fans are 120 or hot swap as pictures show different to words) 

 

i will get 2 reverse mini sas to sata cable

i will be changing the mobo/cpu eventually but want to use unraid for a while before i do. 

 

also what size W psu should i get that will give me growing room for when i do add more drives/ newcpu/ card ect. 

 

 

Just wanting opinions before i click buy. 

 

Thanks for reading.
