So I have some space on my server rack, but not a lot of money lying around.

What I’m trying to achieve is a nas setup for my security camera system. It has 30 cameras, and 4 drives fill up in 3 months. 3X3TB drives.

Looking on eBay for a second hand rack mounted NaS is pretty expensive. Could I build one? From a jbod or something? I’ve got a nice big space in my rack doing nothing.

(I know I could buy bigger drives, but I kinda like the idea of experimenting with something g different) ✌️💛

I second the call out on these Rosewill cases. For the price they're pretty solid.

Also, you're right about the Rosewill rails, they're terrible (source: I bought them and regret it).

+1 on the Rosewill cases. I bought the IstarUSA rails and managed to mangle the bearings on one side. It's still generally functional though.
