Supermicro 3U, Drive number?

[TheKingsWolf]

Went here to check out recommended hardware and landed on this. Was planning on using 6TB Reds for the build, but i want more expansion space than 8 drive slots. 48TB isn't big enough for me. According to the amazon page there, it says this chassis has 16 3.5" bays but I only count 8, and the documentation seems to support 8. On that recommended hardware page, this chassis is listed under Large (10+) discs, so i'm a little confused. I don't have a lot of experience with rack mounted components but it is the direction I am wanting to go for multiple reasons. Am i missing something here, or does this thing only have 8 drive slots?

Well, the Fractal Node 804 is also incorrectly in the small/2-6 bay column (it can do 10 3.5" and 2 2.5" drives).

As far as I can tell, they are counting the 2 5.25" slots as potential for 3.5" conversion, so 10 in total.

835's I believe are all 8 bays the 836 is the 16 bay version.
