Can you share any details on the JBOD? How are you connecting it to the PC? I’d love something similar for my miniPC server.

It’s an Olmaster one that fits a 5,25" bay. It has 4 SATA connectors in the back and a single Molex for power. The SSDs can easily be swapped in or out.
It’s this or something very similar: de.aliexpress.com/i/4001152236337.html?gatewayAda…

What are the SATA cables connected to? Does one of the lenovo tiny PCs have an interface for four SATA connectors?

They are connected to the mini PC below. This mainboard has 4 connectors.

oh yeah shoot, sorry, I skipped past that comment. Thanks for clarifying, you’ve got a super neat setup!

Shopping aliexpress most are 2.5 drives. I get that they’re lower power but 3.5 drives offer much more storage…

I’m all on SSDs since I don’t need that much storage, so 2.5 is what I need anyways. There’s a 3x ZFS mirror of 1.8TB SSDs in there, 4th bay is currently empty.

Damn. Ethernet is indeed your bottleneck there. I love your rack but I’d go more for a higher storage configuration.
