I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

My build under FreeNas: - ASRock H370M-ITX/ac; - Intel core I3-8100; - SNOWMAN MT4 (no fan); - TANBASSH DDR4 2 x 16GB 2666MHz - KingSpec M.2 256 GB (cache); - 6 x 2TB 3.5' HDD WD20efrx; - PSU Thermaltake Ural 650w.

Pros
  • - Compact body with the ability to place 6 3.5' HDD; - 3 built-in quiet coolers; - Bays for HDD with rubber vibration dampeners; - Built-in reobas; - Minimalist design; - Built-in filters.
Cons
  • No more flaws, but design features: - In assemblies with 6 x 3.5' HDD, a very dense layout is obtained. If you need to replace one of the disks, I'm afraid you will have to dismantle all 3 trays. - It is not very convenient to work with a monolithic 3-section housing cover.
