CptHOOK how many TB's max can it do for Unraid?

Well... That server has 4 drive bays I believe, and unRAID 5.0b12 and above accept 3tb drives. So 12tb max I'm guessing. Not owning one of these I can't say for sure taking into account memory and the servers disk controller and PSU.

It has four hot-swap bays but many users use a Nexus DoubleTwin or X-Swing bracket to mount 2 more 3.5" drives in the 5.25" bay, bringing the total drive count to 6. I remember reading that the motherboard has the additional sata ports for the additional drives but has to be reflashed. If 3TB drives were used you would have 15TBs of storage. I could be wrong but I also think some users reported that the server supported the use of 4TB drives. If this were true the total storage would be 20TB. On the Unraid forums check this thread out http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.p...ic=11585.0.
