DIY all flash/SSD NAS (CrazyNAS issues)

[Allan_M]

Someone whip up a "Jank of the year" badge, because you've earned it. For better and for worse.

I love jank. Sometimes I don’t, But usually I do.

You should see the power distribution cable I whipped together.

700w in SSDs is humongous.

It is. I should have figured that much, but it didn’t occur to me until the first PSU (450W) I used was tripped.

Never mind that, how long did it take to extract all those SATA SSDs from their 2.5" enclosures?

Wasn’t that bad tbh.

Assuming 4 screws per enclosure, that's 360+ screws.
Assuming 5 seconds per screw, that's 1800+ seconds or over half and hour... and a very sore wrist.

5 sec pr screw?! More like 5 sec pr drive

Ok. Perhaps not excactly 5 sec pr drive, but 20 mins might not be that off.

I have the big iFixit kit and most of my screwdrivers for that kind of thing all have rotating thingies at the top.

No sore wrists actually
