Power Supply: 1x Internal Universal Auto-Switching 110-240V 250W Flex ATX PSU with fan. UK Plugs provided as standard. Surveillance Support, from just supported as a network drive, to the inclusion of a full NVR software solution and IP Camera Support Therefore, I always used to edit videos off my local SSD drive. And sometimes over the network using macOS's built-in file sharing. But as my video workflow matures, I find myself needing a central storage solution disconnected from my main workstation. Honestly, I didn’t do one. This is a home NAS, the most ‘stress’ it’s going to get is if 4 people decide to copy a 4K video at the same time. I am confident enough in the build, thermal design and the choice of components that I can skip this step. My reports – This case is not enjoyable for heat when thinking about NVME. My initial thoughts was that everything would be great. I had a proper cpu cooler and then also a heat sink for the nvme. Upon firing up everything looked great…..but then I got warnings. My NVME was getting to temps of almost 60c!

Thanks again for a very complete, informative and comprehensive video, much appreciated. I made the right decision for our needs.

Fractal Design Node 804 ( specs): Is a bit larger but also supports Micro ATX motherboards, which opens up a whole new form factor of potential motherboards to consider. It has internal 8 x 3.5” HDD bays, 2 x 2.5” HDD bays, and it’s very price competitive, which makes it a very attractive option to consider. Notes: Several cases have a combination of internal and external (i.e. removable) drive bays, allowing room for a separate boot drive. The Travla T2240 and T2241 chassis have 4 removable bays which can be allocated in any combination between 2 motherboards. CFI-A9859 Value NAS Chassis (2x External HDD, 1x Internal HDD, 1x Optical Bay)The enclosure of the CS280 comes in at 221.5mm (W) x 176.7mm (H) x 301mm (D) or 8.72” (W) x 6.96” (H) x 11.85” (D). As we can see by the above pictures there are ample cooling vents along the sides and top of the case. Here are the key specs: SilverStone CS280 Specifications Metal chassis and trays is going to result in an increase of ambient noise (hum/vibration) than other plastic casing/tray NAS systems Cooling: 120mm Fan installed in front panel (120mm radiator or 140mm fan supported). 2x 80x25mm fans supported in side of chassis (not included).

Some NAS buyers really like to take their storage seriously. If you are looking for real future-proofing in terms of network and internet accessible storage for your desktop, then an 8-Bay network storage device is very much the sweet spot for capacity Vs ability. They may seem a little bulky and something that only the serious business user will consider, but with costs slowing coming down and the sheer size of multimedia files getting bigger it is all too easy to imagine factoring 8 bays of storage into your long term setup. Don’t believe me? It is worth noting that:

Power supply not included: We have a selection of ATX power supplies available to use with this case. Mini ITX NAS cases typically come with one or more built-in fans to help keep the system cool. Additionally, many mini ITX NAS cases are designed to support aftermarket cooling solutions such as liquid cooling or additional case fans.
