Show me your power usage.

god forbid you want to make a redundant array of INEXPENSIVE drives.

a must have for these itx nas builds: thin sata cables. there are ones from silverstone and supermicro. sas to sata, sata only, whichever you prefer. but, beware. i bought the silverstone ones and they are nice but the cable is coming from the side of the sata connector that goes into the motherboard. so you will need to bend them if you have sata oorts on your motherboard one right next to another. really silly design, it would be better to have the cable coming straight from the top of the connector, but then that would be an issue for those vertically stacked sata ports on the mobo. i didnt try the supermicro ones since they are obscenely expensive in my neck of the woods. i managed to squeeze the silverstone ones and for now, knock on woods, they are fine.

IOCREST M.2 might help, if there's a need to reserve pcie slot for other uses. But that'll require an itx mobo with at least 2 or preferably 3 M.2 slots. Jonsbo kinda dropped the ball a bit for not having this case supporting matx, but having few extra inches here & there. Having said that, my N3 build has been doing well, albeit not without difficulties.

Mine fitted in, but it is the smallest µATX, ASUS AM1M-A, only 22,6 cm ...

Would the Thermalright Silver Soul 110 fit okay in place of the cooler you picked for this build?

i have been planning for a month to build on N3 case. as you said it takes a lot of planing

It's honestly so worth it. I love this case. We recently renovated one of our rooms and it happened to be the one where we kept the servers in. I have this N3 Nas and another older one that is running in a rosewill server case. moving that rosewill was such a pain in the ass, but the N3 being so small was so easy to move. I'm honestly considering swapping my old server into an N3 case. it's mostly 8TB drives anyway so if I go with 14-18TB drives, I'll end up with way more space while downsizing in the number of drives by just 2. Having a compact system with so much storage is honestly so much more useful than I would have originally thought.

@@EVOTech1 thanks for sharing. Lots of people online complain about the drive bay and the rubber strap ( literally no one swap there drives frequently you just leave it there ) but they don't get that for less than 150$ you're getting a 8 bay hot swappable and good build quality case which will last you a lifetime. For the size and value of the case I'm grateful to jonsbo

very noiiceee

If you don't need the onboard wifi, you can replace it with a miniPCIE to SATA card which has two to four SATA ports. It's usually just a single PCIE 3.0 lane, but that is capable of handling two 2.5" SATA SSDs, leaving your PCIE x16 slot free for future upgrades, like a 10gig NIC. I chose the Jonsbo N2 for my NAS, and I plan to use a pico PSU to leave room for a 3D printed 4 bay SSD cage at the back, and I have a QM2 combo card with a 10G NIC and two m.2 drive slots onboard.

Are you sure regarding this? Will the OS recognize those drives?

i like to know where you get your drive at

Hi, I've been hearing some shade about those MDD drives. How are they holding up?

I've been keeping an eye on em daily since I was also worried about them. so far no issues. they have passed all smart checks. I plan on posting an updated pinned comment if anything changes.

@@EVOTech1 Cool. Thanks. 😁

The starps on the drives are oriented differently - ocd hell! Great video though :)

you should use the stock cooler, or a general small copper contact, aluminum thermal heatsink cooler, rather than the thermalright AXP-120, it's too big and waste of money

Flawed. You need 8 drives and more SSDs. There are some sata port header motherboard extender with ECC mini ITX motherboards for small business. We need 8 x native SSD ports including 2 x NVM slots. Windows Server 2023 Standard will do everything.
