Seagate 6TB Enterprise Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SAS 12Gb/s 128MB 3.5" ST6000NM0034

Pros: - fast - reliable - supports all the reliability features I want

Overall Review: Recommended

Most Critical Review

Not happy with the backplane

Rosewill RSV-L4412 - 4U Rackmount Server Case or Chassis, 12 SATA / SAS Hot-swap Drives, 5 Cooling Fans Included
Rosewill RSV-L4412 - 4U Rackmount Server Case or Chassis, 12 SATA / SAS Hot-swap Drives, 5 Cooling Fans Included

Pros: - Lots of drive bays

Cons: - Drives don't always seat, have to press firmly to ensure connection - Backplane seems to cause corruption with my SAS drives!

Overall Review: - Going to switch and make this a secondary case or sell it outright. Too many issues with SAS. SATA drives seem ok.

Really a good server case for my home lab

SUPERMICRO SYS-6028R-WTR 2U Rackmount Server Barebone Dual Socket R3 (LGA 2011) Intel C612 DDR4 2400 / 2133 / 1866 / 1600 MHz ECC SDRAM 72-bit

Pros: - great layout - lots of bays - multi-core mobo (I run a lot of virtualization)

Cons: - fan noise. sheesh.

Overall Review: I'm looking at options for getting this thing a bit quieter. even in the basement rack i hear it when the fans spool up.
