Hi,

You may also want to look at the R720XD.

Right now I have a SuperMicro 24 bay 846 for my NAS, but I'm really pissed off that I can't get rails for it as I bought a really nice rack and am trying to rack everything now. I got my R900 racked and I love the rails and general quality of Dell servers. So I think I want to get a Dell to use as a storage server to match my router and hypervisor.routerlogin

Hello @dayaghana84

I am happy to read that you are considering using a Dell server for your project. However, I strongly recommend you to contact our Commercial department (you can change the country on the botton right corner). Either through our web site directly or any of our partners around the globe.

This way you will be able to contact a team specialized in product recommendation.

Hope this helps.

Regards

So far I'm eyeing the R510 12-bay. I would like more, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of used Dell high capacity servers for decent prices. I figure I could use the R510 and expand it with a PowerVault later if I see a good deal on one.

Is there another model I should be looking at? I know the R710 is much more popular, but I don't see any that utilize the whole front panel for 3.5" hotswap bays. I need a lot of storage.
