So if the sharkoon failed on you what case do you have now I'm trying to build on a budget

Has anyone experience with http://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-Drive-Trayless-Mobile-Backplane/dp/B000NMAZUK/ref=pd_sim_sbs_147_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1F4BGY7G6D5TSJWEEF42&dpID=41yOHYEupTL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_ Drive bays and 9 5.25" bays are hard to find 3-4 bays normally the only stuff left in England is cheap

Yes I think I would use it for a cache

I think max would be 8 drives 4x4tb 2x2tb 2 1tb But starting with just the OS and a 4tb storage And i can't realy find none to look at and don't no much about them And the link that you sent me is only available in the USA I live in the UK and they ain't shipped here any cheap solutions available in the uk for around the same sort of prices

Would you recomend the azza t9 value as a case for my build What would you recomend for drive cages On a tight budget Only plan on running a non hot plug SSD for OS And then a 4tb hot plug data drive at first and then upgrading as I go to a total of 6-8 drives Once again tight budget for case and drive cages

So I would be better off with a standard PSU with many sata ports and just use these adaptor so to convert the sata power into molex power Is there any difference in power and reliability as sata sends an extra 3v than molex and there are special clips do any of you use these adaptor so for your builds ?

Hi I need a PSU that's got at least 6 molex plugs on it can anyone recomend a PSU doesent need to be more than 500w needs molex Or can you convert sata power cables to molex power with a simple cable or something Can you recomend a PSU or Convertor cables please

For a molex only drive cage and a mainly sata PSU I could use cables like this ? http://img.dxcdn.com/productimages/sku_91841_1.jpg To convert the PSU sata into molex That would be preferable other people are telling me to cut the wires of the PSU and get out soldering irons or buy little molex things you squeeze into the psus spower cables

So you mean a case like this http://extreme.pcgameshardware.de/attachments/495771d1323124316-langzeittagebuch-sharkoon-t9-value-edition-green-dsc07.jpg And that is a picture if the case I would like to use the sharkoon t9 value Filling all the 5.25" bays with hot swap bays Also how do I get enough molex power from my PSU to power the drive caddys they normally only come with 2 molex connectors and lots ad sata can you convert sata to molex to power these hotswap bays or is it something different

When building a system like this I no you start with a case something like and insert these into the 5.25" bays (don't no what they are called My questions are 1. is there a specific type of case that you need to choose in order for theses devices to fit 2. What are the things that hold the hdd's and go into the 5.25" bays called 3. Do any of these hdd's things support big drives eg 4-6tb are these limited by there own controllers or do they just pass through the sata to the motherboards chipset
