PowreEdge R720xd Compatibility

[Spyderturbo007]

Can someone tell me if this will work with unRAID?  I'm finding confusing and conflicting information surrounding the H310 Mini.

 

-24-bay SFF 2.5" backplane (front), and 2x 2.5" bays in the back

- 2x 300GB 10K SAS 2.5" drives (in the back)

- 2x 10-Core 1.7GHz E5-2650Lv2 CPU's

- 64GB RAM

- H310 Mini RAID 

- iDRAC with Enterprise license

- 2x 1Gb RJ45 Ports

- 2x 10Gb RJ45 Ports

- 2x 750W Power supplies 

- Rails are NOT included. 

- 24 slot fillers

H310 mini is fine as long as crossflashed to LSI IT mode, and IIRC it now can be.

Thanks johnnie.black.  One other dumb question.   I'm new to this server chassis / backplane stuff.  But the description says:

 

-24-bay SFF 2.5" backplane (front), and 2x 2.5" bays in the back

 

Does that mean that it only supports 2.5" drives?

In the caddies yes, you can't fit 3.5" drives there.

Crap, well, never mind then.  All my drives are 3.5".  I guess I'll keep looking.

Any thoughts on something like this:

 

I'm assuming the first line is referring to the max individual drive size and not the total size of all the drives.  Thanks so much for your help!  I don't want to by the wrong thing.

Backplanes are fine, they are the SAS2 models so can handle any current drive size, LSI is also fine though it will bottleneck if using with a fully loaded chassis, won't comment on the board/CPU combo as I'm not familiar with them.
