Usage:

About the build:
Did this build for NAS and blockchain nodes some yrs ago, and made some upgrades last year to meet the scale of the nodes, not the top performance but it's enough for running multiple nodes. This system is originally designed for 8 SATA drives, but mine only has 1 backplane so that’s the max for 4 SATA drives.
It's one of the budget server builds and they are built with mostly used components and bought from our local eCommerce platform, currently, it's still running under the couch in the living room, yeah, 1U server fits that thin space, I’ve added a piece of Air filter in the front to avoid dust been sucked into it, the HEPA need to replace every half year when it turns dark, so it’s also an extra air purifier.
