My unRAID server has 12 data drives, 2 parity drives, and 3 SSD cache pools. Plus dual Xeons on a SuperMicro ATX board.
I currently have the Deep Silence 5 case by Nanoxia. But things are cramped. I’ve filled all the standard drive bays, plus put in a 4-bay 5.25 enclosure. But I still have one of the SSDs just floating around.
What would a better case to put all this stuff in?

Their website says a max of 18 HDDs and 5 SSDs in the storage layout. I have the R5 and am pretty happy with it.
You need to obtain the drive bays separately though.
Have you looked at PCPartPicker with it’s filters? There’s only a few full atx cases with that many drive slots.
all casez can fit that if you try hard enough
This looks like a good(?) way to have lots of drives connected to one machine: https://github.com/trapexit/mergerfs/wiki/Real-World-Deployments I don’t have any experience like this, I have the CS380 with standard loadout… just thought it was a funny way to add lots more drives.
Can you get bigger drives instead? So you have to use fewer of them?
