So the cables altogether are more expensive than the HBA itself.  An important consideration is length, get the 1M ones if you are going to have SATA disks.  Furthermore in this use case 1M is long enough.   If you are going SAS you can go longer, but SATA spec is 1M.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rack System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of this is enclosed in a 10&#8243; 8U Rack I printed myself <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.printables.com\/model\/1090551-modular-10-inch-server-rack-reworked\">https:\/\/www.printables.com\/model\/1090551-modular-10-inch-server-rack-reworked<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My printer isn&#8217;t big enough to print an 8U rail but I did glue two 4U together and added some side panels to improve strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The head unit used this bracket to mount into the 10&#8243; rack<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/makerworld.com\/en\/models\/1945283-lenovo-thinkcentre-tiny-10-rack-mount-m720q\">https:\/\/makerworld.com\/en\/models\/1945283-lenovo-thinkcentre-tiny-10-rack-mount-m720q<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have an older version no keystone<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/my.apolonio.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/M920Q-in-rack.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/my.apolonio.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/M920Q-in-rack.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/my.apolonio.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/M920Q-in-rack-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/my.apolonio.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/M920Q-in-rack-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lenovo M920Q ThinkCentre in Rack Mount<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the back of the rack<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/my.apolonio.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Back-of-Rack.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-373\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rear view of rack<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The power supply is a standard ATX power supply.  In my lab I just pulled out one from an old decommissioned PC I had lying around.  I will not deny that the power supply is a significant cost.  I purchased one on amazon for another JBOD and it was an MSI MAG A750BE for 69.99<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rack mount I used for that is this one<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.printables.com\/model\/1428564-atx-power-supply-mount-for-10-racks\">https:\/\/www.printables.com\/model\/1428564-atx-power-supply-mount-for-10-racks<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right below that is the Lenovo M920Q<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below that is the Power Distribution Unit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0F2HJRNK1\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0F2HJRNK1<\/a> Power Strip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.printables.com\/model\/1392382-10-2u-rack-mount-for-cheap-tiny-pdu-w-usb\">https:\/\/www.printables.com\/model\/1392382-10-2u-rack-mount-for-cheap-tiny-pdu-w-usb<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PDU is just a fancy term for a power strip.  It connects to the mains (preferably to a UPS).   But it reduces cables that need to go outside.  Note the 1ft power cable going to the ATX power supple, on the other side (I don&#8217;t have a pic) is the power supply for the Lenovo.  In addition, there are USB plugs and I am thinking of adding these fans because the current 40mm are pretty loud<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/my.apolonio.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Front-Door-Fans.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/my.apolonio.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Front-Door-Fans.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/my.apolonio.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Front-Door-Fans-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/my.apolonio.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Front-Door-Fans-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Adjustable Quiet 80mm fans for JBOD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally on the bottom where it would be heavy with disks is the JBOD, that requires a section all to itself, I will go into a post in depth later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quick look at the front<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/my.apolonio.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Front-of-Rack.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-376\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rack Front View<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note the power supply in the picture was replaced by a newer more reliable one.
