I'm not sure if the picture is the actual product or a stock photo. Does this server have 6 external HDD bays as the picture shows?

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.

This is a full up system - it uses standard 3.5" SATA drives. Since it is a server, it is probably a good idea to use the 'Black' drives for best performance. However, the Optical Drive bay for some reason is set up for 9.5 mm SATA - typically used for Notebook computers.

That photo threw me off too. I've never seen an open hard drive like how it is pictured, with the title saying open box I was in full confusion mode. They really need a photo of the actual product, not a cutaway view showing us the internals. The actual product is like a regular hard drive, this picture here is just to show off the internals and not realistic to what will ship to you. It's basically a cutaway view to let you see the insides of the drive.

Yes, I received black version, (total of 3), box included all cables needed to run this unit. Works very well, has ports were the angle can be adjusted. I found that most HDDs will mount via this unit. Very helpful.Once in a while there is an external HDD that need to connect to the computer directly, but this thing is worth every penny. (Well depends on how much you pay). I very happy with it. (Hold up to travel etc)

I have a 1TB drive in it currently hosting my VMware ESXi Server. And it has I believe 3 or 4 sata ports on the mother board if I remember correctly. Because I have an sata dvd drive and two hdds in it currently with one other sata port available if I remember correctly.

Negative for data cables. It comes with two accessory connectors with 4 sata power cables each (totaling 8) Seemed like pretty high quality cables.

I looked inside and there are two 5.25 bays, one of these is occupied with a DVD-r. The hard drive slots I'm not so sure of but it looks like 5 altogether including the one that is used for the drive that comes with the computer. If this isn't correct then there may be 3 altogether. Sorry that I can't be positive about this.There is no door access like the DVD-r drives on the front of the computer but there are bays inside for 3.5 hard drives to be mounted.

Yes, it comes with screws to attach the HDD into the bay. It does not come with screws, or other means of attachment to attach the bay into the server or PC.

There is only one 2.5 drive bay located in the upper part of the hdd bays. There is another at the floor of the case but it will need 4 screws. Its a good starter case for small to medium size components. There are better cases than this for close to the price. Look into the corsair, nzxt and cooler master cases. They have more room and features.

There are 4 drive bays. I haven't done so, but I understand you can rig the DVD slot for an additional drive. I have already added USB external without a problem. As far as the larger that 2TB drives - sorry, I haven't tried that. I'm running two small drives to handle the OS in a RAID configuration and 2-2TB drives in a RAID for everything else. Just haven't had a reason to upgrade beyond 2TB yet.

It has 13 bays and 11 of those can be used for Solid State Drives. There's enough space in the back to mod the chassis and drill holes to put them behind the motherboard tray and completely wipe out the cages to add radiators tubing etc.

Yes. That's exactly what I bought it for - extra ports. There is a message that pops up on booting about RAID but extra ports work as intended.

It has 2 x 6Gbps SATA, 4 x 3Gbps.2 x PCIe 3.0 x161 x PCIe 3.0 x82 x PCIe 2.0 x11 x PCII think that's it.

It is sold as an enclosure for two drives, you need to add your own. I installed two WD 2 TB drives in mine which are mirrored (Raid 0).

This server supports boths hard drives... Also motherboard lets you install up to 4 hard drives on this server...

This model comes with 3 x 2TB drives for a total of 6TB. There are also 9TB and 12TB models available.

I believe mine came with 2gb, pretty much useless for a media server, fine for a file server. I immediately ordered the 16gb kit, 4 4tb WD Red, RAID 5 gives me 8tb, installed Plex and have been a "happy camper".
