Hey all, looking for some advice on my FreeNAS build. I've got a random 3U no-name chassis with zero identification. The nearest I can tell is it's a NORCO RPC-3216. I'm having a few issues with it.

So do I try and find a replacement card and order a new PCIe HBA? Or do I just move to a whole new chassis?
If the latter I'm looking for recommendations for a 3U Chassis that can hold at least 16x 3.5 inch drives.

- I believe one of my HBA's died. I'm getting "IOC in unexpected reset state" on each boot when a particular card is installed. Seems likely it's a dead card. I'd just replace it but.....
- At least one of the backplanes are acting up, maybe two. I've moved around power, SAS cables, known good HBAs and I can't get drives to be reliably detected in the bottom rows.
