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.

I ghettoed it. Might work for you.

Since my main nas was using all 6 satas I wanted to expand.

Got a PCIe SAS card, 2 SAS to SATA external cables, each cable goes to 4 satas.

For the disks I got a backplane for 8 disks, a random tower, a cheap PSU and have the sas to SATA cables going from one tower to the other. The PSU is jumped, I still need to get a button for it.

I just dumped the backplane in the case, nothing is fixed. Need to work something out, eventually.
