2U hard drive rack

thingiverse

This is a modular system designed to store hard drives in a DAS disk shelf with maximum efficiency. To build a basic unit: First, order these essential screws on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Laptop-Shockproof-Phillips-Screws/dp/B0159MSHPS/ref=sr_1_38?keywords=computer+shoulder+screw&qid=1558755930&s=gateway&sr=8-38 Next, print a set of five beams to support four hard drives each. This will provide the necessary structure for your DAS disk shelf. To maximize density within the 2u space, print a three-stack design that can be easily assembled and disassembled as needed. For an attractive finish, consider printing additional components such as the front panel, PSU mount, and back plate. These will not only enhance the appearance of your DAS disk shelf but also provide added functionality. Lastly, to ensure optimal cooling performance, print a midplane that allows for maximum airflow around each hard drive. This will help prevent overheating and prolong the lifespan of your storage devices. All parts should fit together smoothly without requiring any adhesives, but if you choose to use glue, be aware that it can make removing drives from the middle sections more challenging.
