Hard Disk External Storage to On board Sata


Nodiaque

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

I have a Dell Precision 5820 that have many sata port (about 9 or so). Problem is the case is really small. I currently have 7 disk, 2 of which are ssd for cache and 1 for parity. While 4 are in hotswap disk tray and 1 in a hdd cage inside, the other 2 are laying on the bottom of the case, restricting airflow to the gpu and the system (which already doesn't have excessive ventilation).

 

I want to add other drive but the case doesn't support it. Thus, I was looking for some kind of rack I could use that connect directly each disk to sata port on the board. I don't want a kind of docking or external case that work thru USB or connect everything to 1 port, I just want like an external hdd cage. If it is powered separately (because of fan and hdd power), it's not a problem (could even be better I think).

 

Does such a thing exist?

 

Thank you!
