This is an old server purchased from ebay so the controller is only SATA2. But its pretty popular I think. I will buy DrivePool + Scanner and maybe also use Snapraid.
Will there be any issues with this build? I read that some controllers have limited SMART info and may not work with Scanner, is this one of them? Also does this support modern disks of 4-10TB or not?
