Right now I basically have 4 NAS drives. I was given a Lenovo TS130 Xeon quad core with 16gb of ECC ram. I have got FreeNAS up and running on it using (4) 2tb hard drives. The on board controller only handles 4 SATA so it's maxed out.
I am thinking about getting a larger case for this Lenovo and maybe just using the drives from my other NAS with this system. I know would need larger case etc. I would also need to add a PCIe SATA 3 controller but not sure what one should get.
Any suggestions on case, controller, anything else, etc? Don't want to spend a ton $$ but want something nice.
