Hey all,

I want to add 4 HDDs externally to my server, which i use for jellyfin, some cloud etc. I was thinking about getting a SAS port like the LSI 9300 8e. The problem i have is that i dont know where to store my HDDs. I need a power supply and ideally a case or something. I have the feeling you find a lot of DAS solutions with usb which are to avoid or eSATA which throttles everything down. Have you any recommendations for cases and power supplies for me? and if you know a good all in one DAS where every hdd as a seperate sata port, please let me know.

Oh no, I'm just suggesting upcycling someones old itx hardware and new chassis and making something that isn't literally fragile.

Also, USB SATA controllers in those external hard drives tend to suck.
