I have a Dell R730 (not the XD) and my goal is to boot off internal drives, leaving the front 2.5" bays free for data. In the past, with an R720, I did this with PCIe hot swap cards. I realize now, that I should have opened up the chassis and checked for possible power and data connections...
Do you attach gear to a sheet of plywood in the basement? About 15 years ago, in another city, I had a small sheet of plywood attached to the wall of the basement. It held the DSL modem, the network switch, and other small component related to my home network.

I plan to add two NVMe devices to my Supermicro X9DRE-TF+ m/b. Only one slot is filled now (SAS card).

In the m/b manual, I see this...

I have a PLINK IPC-ML4U20-MSAS with 20 HDD and 4 SSD, but lately I've grown tired of having to derack it to get into the case. It is on generic rails which don't pull out far enough to allow the top to come off. Rather than solve that problem, I decided to look at the 846 chassis after getting...
I am planning to buy the Lian Li PC-D8000 case and install about 28 HDD into it.
Those of you already running this case, what power supply are you using?
I'm thinking an 800W PSU will be sufficient while powering an Intel Xeon E5-2630.
