Love them Caselabs cases, I have 7 of them now. Sad they closed down.I dont think the duplicator cases will work for me. I have a 13" x 13" space where I'd like to put the case I'm looking for and that's the perfect size for the U-NAS case which is 12.5" wide.
Yup I've read that. I considered the DS380 but I already have a U-NAS 810a that I'm going to repurpose for this.
Not yet. I will do that in the next day or two with my backup drives. They are SMR's so not as good as my main drivers (WD Golds) but should be fine to test speed.Very nice, have you tested the speed between the two enclosures yet
Look forward to seeing the complete build and parts list. Was any thought given to the SM Board with IPMI built in - CSE-PTJBOD-CB3 - Supermicro CSE-PTJBOD-CB3 JBOD Power Board - Newegg.com.So I wound up picking up the Supermicro JBOD power board because my 1U Flex PSU doesn't have an on/off button and I didnt want to have to control power to the unit by plugging in/unplugging the power cable. For now I'm going to run the fans at 100% as they don't seem too loud but I'll get a fan controller if they turn out to be too audible and temps are fine.
Parts list is pretty much in my OP except I'm using the newer power board. HBA is here. No thought given to that IPMI card because its $120 more and I dont see myself needing IPMI for a JBOD box. I almost didn't even use a power board at all and was just going to hotwire the PSU but then I realized my PSU doesnt have a power button so I didn't want to have to unplug it to turn it off.Look forward to seeing the complete build and parts list.

Is the power supply you are using one purchased with the 810a chassis? Are you still running the Gelid fans or did you swap with Noctua? What SAS controller are you using in your server to connect up to this box?
Mini-SAS to 4-Sata cables. Backplane takes SATA cables.just curious @IamSpartacus - how did you connect inside sFF-8077 to the backplane/drives? just a SAS to SATA breakout cables?
think about the server sideam i missing something? building jbod enclosure you dont need hba. unless....you have changed your mind or the build.
can you show us the inside pics?
as of now it looks, it is server build. no jbod buildthink about the server side
A JBOD enclosure just houses disks. It needs an HBA in whatever system you are connecting the JBOD chassis to. The HBA is in the watercooled system you see above.am i missing something? building jbod enclosure you dont need hba. unless....you have changed your mind or the build.

simple answer, a lot clarified. thanksA JBOD enclosure just houses disks. It needs an HBA in whatever system you are connecting the JBOD chassis to. The HBA is in the watercooled system you see above.
well, calling it a server build is a bit of stretch I think. He repurposed a DIY NAS case to be a DAS using sata-to-sas cables and bridge-head adapter and added one card (the hba) to his existing pc to support external sas connectionas of now it looks, it is server build. no jbod build
Certainly not enterprise grade hardware but in terms of the amount of services (containers and VMs) I have running on here it's actually quite a powerful "server."well, calling it a server build is a bit of stretch I think.
