@techmakesart: A new Unraid NAS and media center project going in my DeskPi. Partially @BenjaminSPowell 's fault for giving Unraid so much praise 😂 I figured it was time to check it out after using Proxmox for so long. #TechMakesArt #unraid #proxmox #homelab #computer
Trim the metal out the side, the pressure on those thin cables is giving me anxiety.

I have a very similar setup with a HP G3 mini with an m.2 adapter running 2 drives currently as my media server. I used regular sata cables on mine but I’ll have to try and find the ones you used as those would be much better than what I used. Thanks for sharing.

Can I ask how ur going to power up the hard drives, I currently have a couple of dell servers running which are power consuming, so I’m thinking of shutting them down and follow ur design ?

you should get a dji osmo, so you can leave the phone on the table while filming and have two free hands

I just ditched the sata caddy and just left the drive mounted in the slot. The computer is in the same rack you have and it’s never going to move. It’s been months and no issues.

Where did you find that sata cable bundle? I searched everywhere for that exact type of cable and the best I found was single cables on AliExpress, not the 6 cable sleeved bundles

Use a USBDOM for Unraid boot, and a SATADOM for the sata cache.

use the sata cables for the internal drive and bring it out like the M.2 Sata cables. hope it doesn't sound confusing

I would take out the M.2 that has the WiFi card in it and put the boot drive there. I’m not to keen on the different M.2 types. Not sure if that would even work

I would cut a rectangle out of the side and run the cables straight out

That’s cool. I have a similar setup using a PI 4 Model B and Netgear NAS (4x1TB SATA) and I’ve created a web interface for managing everything 😁
