Greetings, I'm looking for any recommendations for both HDDs and cases for a simple home server setup. I have a good working mobo. I have used a few Antec Sonata cases; are there better similar cases to consider? As for HDDs, any recommendations on manufacturers, branding, sizes (don't go above ...), etc? Much thanks.

After issues with Seagate drives, I stick with Western Digital and for servers, I look for NAS rated drives as they are designed for 24/7 usage. The extra cost I feel is worth it. I have not had one fail on me yet. Speed isn't one of my greatest concerns.
I have had Seagate drives start giving me SMART errors as soon as they are run. Of course, this could be related to Seagate not wanting to work with Linux SMART tools from what I have read.
The largest drives I have ever used are 4TB for media files. Looking at going larger with next upgrade.
As for cases, I use what I have if it works. A server needs good cooling and able to be left alone. I have added external filters to stop dirt ingress. Some cases with so called filters are not that great and I have found, hard to clean.
For new cases, I have both Corsair and Cougar and both have their pluses and minuses.
