My NAS setup currently.
8 8TB drives (the NAS is like 6 years old) in RaidZ2.
Edit: The scribbled spot is a SSD that had the barcodes visible. The SSD is a 1TB drive for VM installs and other stuff that isn’t deep storage.
Edit2: The SSD isn’t anchored because it has no moving parts and it was placed like that for testing… 4 months ago… It’s just temporary I swear!
Edit3: For those curious the case is a Darkrock Classic Storage Master
I’ve had something similar due to the limitations of a narrow ILM vs square ILM board, but I think my solution was to rig/butcher it until it pointed the cooler correctly, that or I bought a mounting adapter or something. Either way, I remember that I viscerally hated it and wouldn’t let it sit like that despite being 45w CPUs, and this post reminded me of it haha.
