It's 3 SATA power cables yes, plugged into the H4+ https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h4-plus/

It looks like a PSU, but it's actually just a case for the odroid H4+ https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h4-case-type-1/

The one is a Iron Wolf, the other is a WD Gold, both of which are ~5 years old, they were LOUD when I had a database running on them. They are now a lot quieter than my work laptop so they don't bug me anymore.

Thanks for the advice, I really like these solutions I'll definitely look into them

Thanks <3

I'm going to go with the Sovol SV06 Plus ACE , I'm a big advocate for Open Source, so anything that requires proprietary software isn't really an option for me.

I live in a tiny apartment, so my biggest hurdle with getting a 3D printer right now is space.

A lesson I learnt along the way:

HDD's on your desk are loud AF when you're constantly writing to a database
Solution: Everything except backups and Media run on SSD's

That would be amazing thanks, I've barely worked with Arduino but I just ordered a starter kit to play around with and learn.

Good point, I found this: Tutorial - How to control a PWM fan with an ESP32 and Home Assistant ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-AZF6udg-Q ) I'm just going to do that but with more fans

Signed and shared, let's go !!

Not sure what it would cost, but it would likely cost double just buying a ODROID H4+ and making your own NAS
