5.25" Hotswap Raid Adapter
Description
5.25" Hotswap Raid Adapter ======================= This is a scalable desktop solution to add Hotswap SSD bays to the front of any desktop case containing 5.25" optical bays. Depending on hardware configuration you may need to add more sata ports to either your motherboard or by adding a simple raid card. ======================== Hardware needed - = *MachineScrew #6-32x1" works well for fan bracket assembly & sata adapters. https://www.amazon.com/Hillman-Group-7656-Machine-6-32-Inch/dp/B000B8LOWE *HDD Screws - typical small beveled hard drive screws required to successfully mount SSD drives. *Sata adapters - Designed around the one in this link, I cannot guarantee fitment of other adapters. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D382F93 *40mm fan for single bay(2 drives) https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-Cooling-Blades-Bearing-NF-A4x10/dp/B009NQLT0M *120mm fan for 3 Bay (6 drives) https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NF-F12-PWM-4-Pin-Premium/dp/B00650P2ZC ======================== Assembly Notes: = Use the "SATA adapter mounting bracket.stl" on top of the sata port adapters to ensure a good hold without damaging the adapters (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN) snug is fine. MachineScrew#6-32x1" is used for the adapters, using just the screw through the first then adding a Nut under it then and tightening to second adapter mounting bracket. Note: these brackets do not need to be super tight. In fact, they benefit from a little flex to adjust to the hdd as it seats upon insertion. Optional: When adding 3 bays, use the 120mm fan bracket, attach the fan to the 120mm bracket and then attach to bays. Insert into case as a complete unit. The optional TPU bracket is not needed and is supplied as an option to add more clearance. Also can be printed in PLA. Note: While I consider this a finished product, I will revisit and make improvements when time allows. <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nc-nd/4.0/88x31.png" /></a><br />This work is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License</a>.
