Greetings,
I'm looking for any recommendations for both HDDs and cases for a simple
home server setup.
I have a good working mobo.
I have used a few Antec Sonata cases; are there better similar cases to
consider?
As for HDDs, any recommendations on manufacturers, branding, sizes (don't
go above ...), etc?
Much thanks.

My corsair case has a couple of features that I've now
seen in other cases as well:
1. "Portholes" in the back of the case so you can run
all the annoying wires around behind the motherboard
and out the nearest port where they need to connect
to something.
2. A big opening in the back where the cooler is mounted on
the motherboard so you can mount the cooler after putting
the motherboard in the case and still get to mounting
screws on the back.
Those two features are now essential for me :-).
Another good feature in my corsair is 200mm case fans
so they can run slow and quiet and still move lots
of air.
Here's some pictures:

It is awful large for a "mid sized" case, but it is sure
easy to work with.
That's almost the exact same case I have for my 8-core AMD system. Nice
case, the Corsair fans, pumps and POwer supply fit perfectly and it's
really very quiet for a liquid cooled system with 7 fans in it. The
external reusable dust filters are awesome (I have 3 cats and a large
python running around my house) and I've been incredibly pleased with it.

Hmm, that sounds like long term planning for a YouTube clip.
I think that any computer close to floor level really needs good inlet
filtering, and regular cleaning of them. They get more dust inside
them, any footsteps raise the dust up to intake level much more than
what's just floating around in the room.

Wow, I've never seen a case where you can run cables out of the
way like that. that's super nifty!

I was about to suggest some Antec cases have room for four (and
maybe more, in some cases) HDDs mounted sideways in the lower-front
part of the case, allowing you to slide them in and/or out from the
side, without needing to pull of the front bezel.
I'm currently using one that looks like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Antec-Sonata-Quiet-Tower-without/dp/B000GQMHAY%3FS...
though I don't recall paying anywhere NEAR that much for it.

After issues with Seagate drives, I stick with Western Digital and for
servers, I look for NAS rated drives as they are designed for 24/7
usage. The extra cost I feel is worth it. I have not had one fail on
me yet. Speed isn't one of my greatest concerns.
I have had Seagate drives start giving me SMART errors as soon as they
are run. Of course, this could be related to Seagate not wanting to
work with Linux SMART tools from what I have read.
The largest drives I have ever used are 4TB for media files. Looking at
going larger with next upgrade.
As for cases, I use what I have if it works. A server needs good
cooling and able to be left alone. I have added external filters to
stop dirt ingress. Some cases with so called filters are not that great
and I have found, hard to clean.
For new cases, I have both Corsair and Cougar and both have their pluses
and minuses.
