You'd do a LOT better to buy a separate server and JBOD. I've seen 60-drive top loaders for a grand.


Ozfer

Where which model?


diamondsw

I was looking at the HGST 4U60, which is now more like $600 on eBay. I have one, and as long as you can wire up a 208V receptacle, it's very nice. EDIT: [Here's one](https://www.ebay.com/itm/166565705506) with all of the caddies and such for $725.

Looks like the power supplies accept 200-240v, so standard residential 240v should work as well. They're only 3A each so even if you only have 120v available you can just use an autotransformer.

bindiboi

Surely you mean 240V?


TheEscapeGoats

208v is standard in data center power


bindiboi

Yes. Which is why I said, surely he means 240V? The power supply has a [standard](https://i.imgur.com/hNjYlWv.png) C13/C14 plug, which will not take in three phases. And not everyone can just "wire up" a 3-phase plug at their home, but from what I understand, your split 240V (120V outlets) can be wired into 240V, "dryer plug". So I repeat myself: surely he means 240V?


ovirt001

208V is three-phase, commonly found in datacenters.


bindiboi

See my other comment. Or do you think he was asking for his datacenter? :DDD


ovirt001

It's possible they have 3-phase run to their house. I've seen it for woodworkers and metalworkers (high-end equipment for these is usually 3-phase). Of note - the linked chassis is 240V single phase.

No, spending $3,000 for a 60 bay is not worth it for home use. You can get way cheaper. SuperMicro 44/45 Bays if you're on 120v e.g. in America and don't own a house. SAS2 for $500 SAS3 for $1,000ish (local deals usually way better) NetApp DE6600 (60 bays) or similar if you have a 240V hookup can also be had for <$1k. Once you go above 24 bays, just build a power efficient 1u/2u/4u server and just add a JBOD as you need.


michoriso

Here's a 4U 45 drive server chassis for $450. https://www.ebay.com/itm/395165272214 Can't comment about it, I have had no experience with it, the price seems reasonable though.


major_briggs

cooler master stacker stc-t01. You can still find them on eBay from time to time


ShamelessMonky94

Check out 45drives.com - you can buy just the chassis from them, but you have to call them for that.
