Target platform

This 2U rackmount server chassis supports E-ATX motherboards and eight 3.5-inch hot-swap drive bays. It suits storage-dense workloads such as NAS, backup or media servers. Builders needing only a single expansion slot or a compact 1U form factor should look elsewhere.

Sustained operation

An 800W CRPS Platinum redundant power supply and three 8025 fans deliver continuous cooling and power headroom under full drive load. Five additional 40mm fans maintain airflow across the motherboard and expansion area during prolonged writes.

Deployment notes

Tool-less trays allow quick insertion of 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives without screws. The top plate accommodates two extra 3.5-inch drives plus two 2.5-inch OS devices, while dual 4-port 12Gb SATA/SAS backplanes handle connectivity. The unit ships without bezel or power cord, and the 16 kg weight requires two-person rack mounting.
