Anyone know if there are any server/jbod chassis with tool-less drives that have 12-24+ 3.5in hot swap drive bays anyone would recommend for a home lab (and don't cost 2k+)? I usually get supermicro servers but all there 12-24 drive bay chassis have screw installation hard drive caddies. The 4u 60 bay+ chassis have the newer tool-less drive caddies but are probably too loud for the rack I have in my office.

I've used both the 3U and 4U of those chassis'. They were pretty solid TBH. Not Supermicro quality but solid. They are often not cheap though.
