Been a longtime [H]F lurker! I am in the process of buying a server.
Im based in India.This is for an All-In-One ESXi build.
The specifications of the proposed build are:
Low noise fans, Expander backplane, sturdy trays, overall well built.
I have to decide over these options whether to go for AIC 4U 24 Bay Expander Chassis (RSC-4EH) or the equivalent, Supermicro SC846BE16-R920B, Chenbro RM41824 Expander version,
AIC is generally not cheaper alternative than the Chenbro or Supermicro. But it has some nice features like 120mm fans(quieter) front lock, etc. What I do not have is the details, image of the expander backplane. The server will be in my room.
A distributor has AIC chassis in stock with Rail kit(same price as Supermicro)
I also need support for 6TB HDDs.
Build quality of the chassis is also a major concern for me.
P.S. I can even consider a Supermicro but they are quite expensive here.
Im also worried about Supermicros fans (80mm, Very High RPM) and RPS as they are noisy. Also, I have seen Chenbro chassis & they are pretty well built!
I dont want to even bother with Norco chassis for the quality/QC issues!
