so i would like it to fit in a networking cabinet, which is not as deep.. i am also not married with a rack mount, if it's a simple form factor as a tower, that';s fine. i currently have a synology DS3615 with 1 expansion bay which is perfect as a form factor.

thanks @stringtrain i kinda got to that point. but that brings me back to the original issue.. i can either go with something reliable, like an old HP storage chassis which introduces a crazy amount of noise, or i can go with things like an icybox solution. which is frankly, going to fail thanks to power buttons per bay etc. etc. there just doesn't seem to be an off the shelf solution on which hexos will play nicely 😞

hi brain trust; i already went through a lot of the forum but can't seem to find an answer.. hope for some good recommendations; I currently run a Synology DS3615XS with 1 expansion bay, 2X 12 disks in RAID 6, so 2 different arrays, around 200 TB in total. i need to move away from the Synology and with all the consumer unfriendly stuff that has been going on, i want to move to a different system. I have already invested into hexos and bought a perpetual license. while it would be nice to have the NAS run additional software in the future, for now being a SMB is enough for me. I run all my dockers on a different MS-01 from Minisforum that has all the processing power i need. so, what am i looking for? i am looking for a storage server. ideally rack mountable with half-depth, quiet and simple. if possible 24 disks so i can expand.. i would need at least 200tb as a starting storage pool and be able to expand later on. I was hoping ubiqity would release an enterprise version of their NAS since it does everything I need, is cheap and super simple but alas.. while i can figure out most of it, it's the chassis that has me scratching my head.. does anyone have any recommendations?
