Hi,

I need some recommendations for a storage server. A cube with a horizontal motherboard tray or rack case is preferred. I am considering: Cooler Master: HAF XB EVO

At a minimum I need to fit 11 2.5 inch drives and 2 3.5 inch drives. Hot-swap is not necessary and I definitely do not want an expander as the 11 2.5 inch drives are all SSDs. Redundant power supply is not a requirement either. Cooling is important. I was thinking of getting a 5.25 to 4 2.5 inch adapter and with 2 of those I would be able to fit 12 2.5 inch drives and 2 3.5 inch drives in it.

Is there any other options? I am familiar with the Norcos and Supermicros but think they may be a little overkill in this scenario.

After the initial drives I doubt more drives will be added so future growth is not a factor.
