Rackmount NAS Enclosure (lemmy.ca)

I'm trying to plot out a home server build, and I'd like to do it in a rackmount form factor. Use case will likely be Proxmox running a NAS VM and some media services. For the NAS piece, I was thinking an enclosure with hot swap bays would be nice. Anyone have recommendations on the case/enclosure itself? I've seen this Rosewill one on Newegg (https://www.newegg.com/rosewill-rsv-l4412u-black/p/N82E16811147330), but struggling to find many other options.

I don't have recommendations for a case but I would advise you to go with True NAS scale as it also makes virtual machines and is more open / less annoying than Proxmox.

That's interesting. I had thought of doing TrueNAS Scale as a VM running in Proxmox, but you're suggesting have TrueNAS itself be the bare-metal hypervisor? What do you find annoying about Proxmox?

I haven't really ever found anything that checks enough boxes to make building my own in a chassis worth it, I run old Dell and Supermicro servers instead. The closest I have seen to what I want are these:

I’ve been using a Fractal R5 on a shelf on its side for the past three years. Rack mounting costs a premium and the R5/6 cases are just so good.

At that cost, you'd better buy a full Dell R720

You can give the rack mountable cases from Silverstone a look. I am using a RM41-506 with two IcyDock FatCage MB155SP-B.

How are you liking that setup? I was looking at that pairing the other day (it's about time for my 7600K to retire and live out it's life in a nice server upstate), but I wasn't sure if icydock cages were worth the extra cost over the Silverstone ones (plus I wasn't sure if my atx mobo would have enough space).
