Hello All. I am to a point where I either have to upgrade cases to support more HD's or to lose space by replacing my current HD's with larger one. I have decided to go with the option of replacing the case. My current setup includes the following:
The case that I just ordered from Newegg is the: Norco RPC-4220
I guess my question is that I want to utilize all of the components above in the new case but how do I go about making the Raid card work with 20 drives? Do I just add 2 more 2720's and use the motherboard connections or would it be best to buy a new raid card that will host them all? I only want to use the JBOD function. Any help would be appreciated.
