Shonk 139 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) This is my take on the drive bracket with some slight differences from SCHOONDOGGY (many thanks to him for the idea etc..) Drives moved higher to give more clearance Brackets 10mm to ensure there are no airflow restrictions on the psu I wont be selling these as its a bit unfair on SCHOONDOGGY and tbh i cant be bothered But i will supply plans for people like myself who are outside the usa and want it quickly and are capable of doing it I advise if you are in the us to support SCHOONDOGGY as his price is very fair if i was us based i would have just picked one up from him I have tested this on paper cutouts today and all seems fine This is setup for 1.5mm Zintec Sheet Metal And i will be laser cutting myself a few on monday and will post images of the final bracket when i fit it anyway here's the plans for anyone interested in Autocad, CorelDRAW, PDF format and are to scale https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=kZIq67Z7a7xXwahTfu77IMby7Q37BeYcmmk Edited November 23, 2014 by Shonk Link to post Share on other sites

Shonk 139 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Oddly my order from amazon turned up today on a sunday .. Wanting to try out the Marvel 9230 PCI-E 2.0 2x Controller I decided to set it up on a temp basis It has worked out quite well (fan lowest setting) Samsung M9T 2TB (top) 29° Hitachi HTS545050A7E380 (side) 31° I may well leave them like so but will still make a bracket tomorrow and post an image of it Both drives where secured with 3 strips of 3M VHB Link to post Share on other sites
ikon 439 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Actually, I don't think it's odd that it showed up on a Sunday. Amazon has likely initiated their yearly holiday season delivery protocol, which calls for longer delivery hours on weekdays and deliveries on weekends as well. Link to post Share on other sites
quickdry 0 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 sorry to be a bit offtopic - but did you have to do anything special to get that PCI card recognised in the Gen8? I have tried 2 Addonics eSata cards (ADSA3GPX1-2E) and they just don't seem to get recognised. (Mine is a bare bones Win2k12 server with no ODD or RAID fanciness) Link to post Share on other sites

ikon 439 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I've used an Sil-3132 card. I'm pretty sure I had to install its driver before it would work (or maybe that was just to get multi-port working). Link to post Share on other sites
