Open Source NAS hardware
Specs and designs for a DIY, modular NAS enclosures.
Create 3D printed enclosures to hold multiple HDDs
Incorporate existing backplanes into the 3d printed enclosures.
Backplanes like SuperMicro SATA743 or SATA823 or SATA836
Create a DIY backplane for various drive configurations
The design requires on PCB onto which are 4 x SATA board connectors on one side of the PCB, and the other side of the PCB will have 1 x SFF-8087 connector and one Molex PATA 4 pin power connector.
The power connector should be a 90 deg connector and should be thru-hole mounted.
There should be 4 location on the PCB to mount the power connector depending on where the end user wants to mount it.
The 4 x SATA connetors should be directly (electrically) connected to the SFF-8087 connector.
The "SATA BACKPLANE DESIGN" document specifies that all traces for one SATA connector should be the same length. What else should we know???
