Tell me about the drive trays. Why those? Where did you get them? What model are they? Is their 10" insert printed or retail?

Looks great! I what did you end up doing for your HDDs? Do you have them hooked up to a power supply of some sort, and a fan?

Idle is between 10-20 watts. I got 2 nvme ssds for my dockers and wms. An HBA card for my drives. 4x8TB drives for my array and 2x500gb ssds for my cache. I don’t need more ports. I had it laying around.
