4-Bay/8-Bay SAS JBOD with builtin SFX or Flex-ATX PSU

3D Printed JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) Storage Enclosure

This is a custom-designed, 3D printable storage solution that creates a compact and professional-grade JBOD enclosure capable of housing either 4 or 8 drives. The platform-agnostic design makes it compatible with any system that supports standard SAS connectivity, creating a powerful and space-efficient storage solution perfect for homelab and professional environments.

Key Features

Modular Design: Built around the innovative Folding HDD Rack system, allowing for flexible configuration and easy maintenance. The modular approach means you can adapt the enclosure for different drive counts and future upgrades.

Hot-Swap Capability: Features a custom-designed backplane that supports SATA hot-swap functionality, enabling drive replacement without system downtime. This professional-grade feature is rarely found in DIY storage solutions.

Integrated Power Supply: Unlike many JBOD solutions that require external power bricks, this design incorporates a built-in PSU, reducing cable clutter and improving the overall aesthetic. Supports both Flex-ATX and SFX PSUS so you can use whatever you have lying around

Magnetic Assembly System: Utilizes 24 strategically-placed 9x2mm neodymium magnets for secure yet removable panel attachment, making maintenance and modifications straightforward while maintaining a clean, tool-free exterior.
