[Question] Recommendations for a SFF backup server
[Question] Recommendations for a SFF backup server
Hi folks, I'm considering setting up an offsite backup server and am seeking recommendations for a smallish form factor PC. Mainly, are there some suitable popular second hand PCs which meet the following requirements:
- fits 4x 3.5" HDD
- Smaller than a regular tower (e.g. mATX or ITX)
- Equipped with a 6th of 7th gen Intel CPU at least (for power efficiency and transcoding, in case I want it to actually to some transcoding) with video output.
- Ideally with upgradeable RAM
Do you know of something which meets those specs and is rather common on the second hand market?
Thanks!
Edit: I'm looking for a prebuilt system, such as a dell optiplex or similar.

I have a Silverstone DS380.
ITX form factor, SFX power supply.
Houses 8x3.5 and 4x2.5.
Thanks! I love that case, that's what I use for my main server. In this case I was interested in a prebuilt, which may be easier to find and with all main components included and thus possibly cheaper. I updated my main point as I understand it may not have been obvious.
Wow I should have checked better before doing my ugly hack with 2x5 hot swappable 3.5 caddies. In the end I paid the same...
