Hi, I'm looking for a 19" rack case with a depth smaller than 600 mm (the rack's distance between front and back mounting levels is 545 mm). I need 30 TB storage with RAID-Z2, so I'd say I need a minimum of 5 hot swapable 3.5" bays + some 2.5" bays for system & caching SSDs. So far the only...

I'm completely new to freenas and to building a NAS. I have a tight space restriction and found this case which size wise is perfect for an ITX build with a requirement for 4 drives. Is there anything ayone can see that is wrong with this case...
