You guys might appreciate this, I just finished a custom open-air cage/case for 12x 3.5-inch hardrives:
It was a fun afternoon project.
It was a fun afternoon project.
No extra bumpers on that cage, but anything is possible. The drives are "attached" to the rails via rubber grommets. My scientific test to see how hard it was to shake those two drive loose, was three good hard shakes, and only one came out half-way.I want one. Actually maybe 3. Do you have a bumper in the back or something to stop the drives from slipping? I power rail to tap power from would be cool too, reduce tangles.
Bah, I still want one
Yes, 120mm fans could be mounted anywhere on the face of the horizontal extrusions.I think this would also be nice to put a 120mm fan or something to blow air over the drives. Some of the drives really need airflow.
