Hello everyone, I'm making this post to find some ideas and maybe discuss some things.
My setup: I have a computer with an Intel i7 12° gen, 64Gb DDR5 RAM, 2.5gbps network card, 2 SSD nvme, and 5 16Tb hard drive + 1 16tb wd my book external USB drive
Goals: add more hard drive, like 5 more
Problem: no phisical space inside the case. I don't want to buy a Synology, QNAP, etc. NAS because It would be extremely expensive and redundant because I already do everything already with my setup.
Possibile solutions:
-
buy and external hard disk enclosure and connect with type c? What about the performace? Any suggestion of anything you use and working good?
-
3d print something like this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4711196
And with sata cables coming out of the PC. (Ugly but very cheap). I'm afraid of the dust and the temperature, a fan would be useful.
