We have several similar servers. The X10DRH is fine. For a non-HA system, single expander backplane
is ok (BPN-SAS3-836EL1).

HGST or Seagate 4TB both seem to work fine. For Seagate, you'll want firmware 0004 or later,
but that should be all that is in the supply chain for the past year. I avoid WD.
