Unraid Server...

I purchased 4 in the last month for my Unraid server. I am using 10TB parity drives and a combo of 4TB and 8TB data drives in a 15 drive array. Heat dissipation is good, and the fans on low are relatively quiet. Works as advertised. Very happy with the product. Using a SAS 16 controller.
