If the GD08B is rack mountable, what size is it? 4U or 5U? I am considering ordering a 4U server chassis, but this may do.

It's rack mountable if you purchase this... Silverstone Tek Rackmount Ear Kit for HTPC/Desktop Cases RA02B (Black)Also, it's slightly smaller than 4U... about an inch or so. Hope this helps.

I don't think this is rack mountable, Check Silverstone's web site for the manual and it may say so in there.

It doesn't look like you can rack mount it without modification. THE GD08B is a regular desktop chassis with a spacious and cleverly designed interior. I have not read the fine print on the specs though.

It is 1U, but you need a 1U rack shelf (it doesn't have ears to rack it with).

Joel, Yes, this server has 6x 3.5 inch SAS/SATA hard drive bays. They will accept hard drive capacities up to 2TB each. The Certified Servers team appreciates your consideration.

I used the one I purchased on a Dimension 8400 tower. It is still working perfectly. The tower currently has 2 HDD's and a DVD-RW.

I have found that my two drobos work very well for my needs. The one thing I would like to see work better, but I think it is a limitation of Windows not Drobo, is to report the current size of the mass of drives not some specific value like 16TB when you only have 5TB total space. I've installed Plex Server on my Drobo5n and it's been working great even without a mSSD that can improve performance. I don't know or really care about the processor or other specs as long as it works well and performs well.

No idea but Google around. I see lots of comments about SSD and RAID setups on the net. Good luck!

I got the previous 840 model from Samsung and it is beautiful on my Ubuntu box. :) Now I'm getting this one for an Ubuntu server. Ubuntu is pretty much instant-on with the previous one and this one is faster, so enjoy!

You can put up to 32 Gig 4 X 8Gig sticks or 4 4Gig sticks = 16Gig which is what I am upgrading from because I am maxing it out to 32. Hope you understand now.

I would never consider a 4 TB boot drive because I do not believe it's a great idea to keep data on the boot drive, for many valid reasons. I would also never build a system with a traditional platter HD. I installed an SD in my laptop, saw what I'd been missing, and installed one in my primary desktop. Best upgrade I ever made.I use WD Caviar Black drives for all of my data, as secondary drives. One issue with 4 TB drives is that some devices for streaming will not recognize them at all (Such as the WD TV Live).

Hi. I never use greens, they fail to quickly. Red is ok, ensure you are ok with RPM. I tried 6tb red, didn't work. 4tb is max from my experience. I have two of these, work best on eSATA. Enjoy.

Yes it would be fine. I have these fully extended in a server rack and they are holding a 4U server that is about 100 pounds.

It depends on your O/S. I used mine with Ubuntu and 4x4TB and it worked fine.

I assembled Sempron 3850 & involved heatsink with case (hight 60mm). I think this APU is possible 1U rack unit.

No. 4.25in tall, 6.5in long. If your server mobo has right-angle card mounts you might get it to fit.

1 and 2 tb work just fine, if 4 tb will run on the mb, then it should work with the tray. I find these trays are handy, in fact I mount all my drives in these.

Kinda prefer hard drive docking stations actually. Especially ones straight up and down. Easier on the motor. One I'm using is Vantec e-sata in white. Think it only goes to 3TB so when I go to 4 TB I gotta look for a new one. I mostly prefer it because I can stick a 3-4 inch mini fan behind it if it gets too warm. And cases don't do much for heat dissipation even the ones that are supposed to. Only one that did they don't make anymore :(
