I like the AB in the GB
Also, doing quick google search shows Unraid has a performance issue with esata enclosures when you access more than one drive at a time.
Oh, look, an actual conversation.

Just 2 for now. Using an LSI 9210-8i. And I dunno about the case, some rando tower case.
your options are as follows
1) 5in3 enclosures, about 80-100 a piece, gives you 5 3.5 drives in 3 5.25 bays (which is why i asked what case you had)
2) A small disk shelf, give you about 12-15 drive capacity via an SFF-8087 > SFF-8088 cable
3) A 3d printed enclosure that you pair with a ebay-backplane that can give you whatever amount of disks you want

you'll need the backplane. Theres tons of 3u and 4u backplanes for like 20-30 bucks. But the drive cage size backplanes arent really something people harvest.
I like the A-series supermicro backplanes, specifically the 826A. They take molex'es for power, and SFF-8087 cables. If you could print a drive holder that matched with one those that gives you a nice 12 bay expander.
Theres a bunch on ebay that take HP backplanes, but those take non-standard power and have expanders.
Heres an example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1951314721...rentrq:ca8ea5b91840aa7145f33328fffec3aa|iid:1
But like I said, I dont like that backplane.
I do like this backplane, and have one

I actually don't need a backplane. I've got 4-5 open SATA slots. I just need to find some sort of hard drive rack that I can print.
Although I'm reading that they sag even in PETG. So who the fuck knows. Maybe I do need the whole damn thing.
No, I mentioned up thread that there is space in the case for them. I just need to buy/print a cage for the drives.
Probably easiest to just buy something:

Modular hdd rack stackable 3.5 hard drive bracket 80 mm fan mount by wedsa5
Update: I added the newest version v6 which adds the functionality to mount 80mm fans to the side(s) for cooling the drives. To mount fans, every other mount needs to be a fan version, since there is a drive every 40mm, and fan pins every 80mm. Simply press the standard 80mm fans onto the pins...
