I’m trying to plot out a home server build, and I’d like to do it in a rackmount form factor. Use case will likely be Proxmox running a NAS VM and some media services. For the NAS piece, I was thinking an enclosure with hot swap bays would be nice. Anyone have recommendations on the case/enclosure itself? I’ve seen this Rosewill one on Newegg (https://www.newegg.com/rosewill-rsv-l4412u-black/p/N82E16811147330), but struggling to find many other options.

    I have two of those cases. They’re fine, able to fit a wide variety of hardware. The hot swap bays need 4 pin molex connectors (3 bays, each bay needs 2 connectors, for a total of 6 connectos), which is kinda a pain. They don’t really have good rails, but it’s workable. The connector and rails issues are fairly easily solvable issues.
