Hello,
this is more a general question than TrueNAS specific, but it goes hand in hand with the proposed setup. Right, so:
My new case is Inter-Tech 4724.

All is well except the fans being waaaaaaaay too loud. I expected it to be somewhat louder, but this are dBs that I know from our server rooms. Understandable.
However, I am sure I can go down with RPM.
I am aiming toward Noctua NF-F12 industrialPPC, be that 2000rpm or 3000rpm.
I previously had a PC case, and this one had 5 120mm fans, but really, the "server" was barely noticeable. And HDD temperatures were all in normal range, around 36°C.
I have to add that beside 3 120mm fans in the middle, the case also had 80mm fans in the back (which will also be replaced), and a separate CPU fan (which will also be replaced).
Possibly important: motherboard is Supermicro X11SPI-TF. It has some rudimentary fan management, but nothing fancy.
So, couple of questions:
Do you find these fans enough for that storage case, if it were filled with 24 disks? ( I am going to reckon it's enough for 10 disks I have now)
Would you rather go 2000rpm or 3000rpm?
Should I get some kind of fan management?
