Obviously the SFX PSU won't really fit into a 1 or 2U enclosure. I have a Mini-ITX motherboard (Asus ROG Strix X570-I Gaming) and a SFX-L PSU already so I could use those, but now I'm thinking another board might be better. Home Assistant host - Currently running on Proxmoxx (The HP Mini PC in the bottom of the rack)ġ0GBe NIC (SFP+ Ideally but RJ45 would be fine) I have 5 x 14TB drives I need to migrate from my Synology - I have a backup Maybe I can cut the drive bays off of a 3U server with a SAS expander backplane instead?Īs many hot swap bays as possible (8 minimum). However, this enclosure seems hard to get hold of.

and a RAID card to connect to the mini SAS ports. I can't find a single case that fits into that requirement but I then spotted this disk enclosure from Silverstone which would fit inside the rack, but I'd need to pair it with another 1 or 2U device to run UnRaid etc. The problem is the network cabinet I would like to put it in only 300mm deep and I have 4U space, tops. I already have another Unraid server I use for backing up the Synology. I'm planning a new server build to replace a Synology DS1515+.
