Any idea where I can find supermicros in that price range?

Any reason to use the three 12 Tb vs the four 16 Tb?

How much ram is recommended? 32 gb of DDR4 "enough"?

Thanks for the response!

Rescued the drives from the trash, all functional, less than 1 year old. I am looking to set up a multimedia server and NAS, but I need hardware suggestions. Looking to keep the spend here under $600. The synology drive bays are giving me some sticker shock. Was planning on using TrueNas.
