4 + 1 Bay DIY NAS Enclosure, 4 x 2.5/3.5 Inch Tray + 1 x 2.5 Inch Internal Bay, MB ITX PSU Flex, Front USB 3.0, 8 cm Chassis Fan, Hot Swap Backplane, Network Attached Storage

It would be even better if it was 10% larger with better wire management. I wouldn't go higher than 6TB HDD, as there's not much airflow. I'd like 8, 10, 12, 16 disk versions as well please. A version with a standard ATX power would be nice too :-)

別にNAS用のケースを欲しかったのではなくMINI-ITX用のPCケースでHDDが4本収納できるコンパクトなケースを探していたところ本商品をたまたま出くわした。値段が少々高いとは思ったものの即決で注文。到着は予定日よりも2日遅くて多少やきもきした。 大きさは他社のMINI-ITX用PCケースより一回り小さく狙い通りだった。ただしその分マザーボードやCPUファン、電源の搭載や配線ケーブルの取り回しには一苦労した。何度も改造をしたい方には不向き。

I was able to build the perfect Network Attached Storage (NAS) with this box. I put in a flex power supply, mini itx motherboard with 8 cores, ram, drives, and it is a godsend. Finally 10 Tb of storage in one easy to access case. I just love it, I should have done this long ago. It has lights for power, individual drive light activity as well as individual drive power lights, and several other lights for network activity in general. Very sturdy. It looks sharp in my cabinet and cable management was a breeze. Great price too for what you get! Building your own nas gives you way faster speeds and much more power than buying a prebuilt one. This is the case to buy.

Lots of modding to get everything to fit but in the end it's a very quiet raid10 NAS using an old micro Alienware I had lying around (All fans replaced with Noctuas). There is only 1 cpu fan that actually fits in this case and since I didn't buy that one I decided to bend the frame of the case to get the motherboard in and lucky enough it had no issues closing the case when bent back. There is also no airflow into the case so I had to drill a hole for a 40x10 noctua as well as another hole for the light up Alienware head on the front (see pics).
