I am planning to get this case Rosewill RSV-L4600U 4U and run a server with Unraid on it. This server will run 6 drives (all shucked, none SMR). I also wanted to run a ZFS VM with 8 drives being passed through.

Will the 14 drives running at once in this enclosure cause issues (since these are all shucked and I have read that vibration may cause issues).

My current ZFS host is running in a separate 3U case but I wanted to consolidate everything into a single server. Are there any concerns ?

    It will work as you describe with no issues: vibration won’t be a problem. Use large/slow case fans (and even for the CPU consider a 92mm model if 120mm won’t fit) and it should serve you well for years. Good luck!
