It definitely is too small to fit them, I think my original idea was to move the guts to my old case, but the shape of the mb changes that. Though I could probably jus use the old hdd cages for that anyway, maybe even plop the thing in whole and wire the HDDs outside the m710q an into the cage like normal. May look a lil janky, but if it works thas what works for me, though I would still have to power the drives

First Home Server (lemmy.world)
 

Hello!

I've decided to build my own small server for the house and would really appreciate some advice. I'm plannin on using it for storage, video sharing(was gonna do Plex but I jus heard about the price change and something about jellyfin?), Minecraft, and Valheim. Nothin too serious. I have a pair of 12tb HDDs (a Seagate iron wolf and a WD Red), a Lenovo m710q to use as the base, and HexOS to run it . As I've opened it up I realized is not gonna be as simple as I thought, like the sata cable not having room for more, or if they can be powered by the board itself. I was already thinking of getting a smallish SSD to run the OS off of and upgrading the ram kit already, but with the HDDs I'm not as sure. Should I look into a sata splitter and get creative with adding the HDDs, should I look into getting a pair of external HDD cages, or should I drop back and punt with my old i5-4590 tower I was using until I upgraded my old rig? I figured the m710q would run it better, but yeah.

Thanks for any help!
