I would like the ability to upgrade the CPU beyond 4 cores if necessary, support multiple high bandwidth PCIe devices, including at least one x16 slot, as well as plenty of memory expansion beyond 32/64GB.

I ordered the 120mm fan wall and OS drive bracket too, thinking the chassis didn't come with the os bracket, and only the 80mm fan wall. I priced a number of options, and it turned out that a 24 bay unit from Norco was the best option taking into account current drive needs, and possible future drive expansion. We've been well pleased with it, and we're contemplating deploying servers in jails or VMs on the FreeNAS host hardware/system.Īnd system noise is a concern as the rack is in an office, hence the 120mm fan walls, and Noctuas.Ĭhassis: Norco RPC-4224 + Rails (Received) We've been using FreeNAS as a Backup target, and its time to move it up our storage hierarchy. I expect this system to have a 5-10 year lifespan. I'm in the process of building a new storage server, although I've done a fair bit of research, and I think I have a fairly complete parts list here, I do have some questions, and if I've made any obvious mistakes, would like some advise :) ![]()
