Looking for approx 12 drives disk shelf supporting SAS3 backplane. Don't need to install m/b. Just for power supply and drives.
Current setup is becoming a hot mess with cables connecting to drives.
What are the options? I read somewhere a regular chassis can be mod to run with m/b.

If you're a DIY person (all random links from eBay/Amazon)


Plus a rack shelf to put it all on, and some sort of cooling solution. Not sure if it's the cheapest overall solution, but I have this all on a ~14in shelf in my rack and it's working pretty well.

Great info! Give me a few days to digest this.
Possible to have a mix of both 2.5 and 3.5” drives?


Still trying to digest info from this.
May need to put a table together

NOT going to work.

In this system, the PSUs plug directly into the motherboard. There is no way to power the backplane, as there is no PDB (Power Distribution Backplane) that has ATX power as in other chassis.

The jbod board uses standard motherboard atx power plug - nothing stops you from removing supermicro pdb, and psu's, and putting in your own psu.
While 2u may be challenging - typical height of 2u is 8.9cm in while atx psu height is typically 8.6cm.
There are slim psu's, or some SFX ones too that will fit fine.

Shorter works better as network equipment sit on the other side of the rack.
Is compatible AOC-SAS3-9300-8E HBA required or any LSI compatible works?
Is there anything else needed for the setup?

any hba with external ports works. 9300-8e/9400-8e etc.

Just make sure you have correct cables, and their length;
(both of those listed cards use 2x sff-8644 - pick correct length - no point of having a lot of cable)
For the 2u box, that doesn't come as jbod you need following adapter
and potentially longer internal cable (sff-8643 as they often aren't made to reach end of the case - again pick correct length for your use)
