Comment on Is this a bad option for a home server?

If RAID is what you’re after, don’t mind the premium for SSD storage and have available 5.25" bays, I highly recommend 5.25" mobile racks. The one I’m using is a a cheap 4 drive one, but if you want something more premium there is always ICY DOCK.

I doubt a 5.25” rack will fit in my closet but thanks for the suggestion 😄

Mobile rack is just what these things seem to be called. Basically it’s just a cage that fits multiple 2.5" drives into an CD/DVD drive bay.

Oh okay, I thought it was a lot bigger. It’s still not going to fit in my Lenovo SFF PC I use as home server.

i got a Fujitsu D556/2 (SFF as well) exactly because it seemed to have an optical drive bay. Turned out it does not have one, but some double sided tape and ugly cable management solved the issue for me :D.
