Jonsbo N3 NAS Enclosure Black - Compact Mini-ITX Aluminium Case for 8X 3.5" HDDs, Hot-Swappable, 2x 80mm Fans, SFX Power Supply, USB-C

Build quality is fantastic, hard drives are very easy to fit, space for cable management. For those wondering: There is enough space on the underside of the motherboard to fit a M.2 to sata adapter with low profile cables. This means you can free up the pcie. Things I didn’t like: The two fans that came with the case are a bit louder than id like, especially when using the daughter board fan headers that seem to just run them at 100% constantly. I’d recommend changing them out with more 92mm and using another fan header on the MB. This is an excellent case for a small form factor nas!

Excellent boîtier, utilisé pour monter un nas unraid, avec 8 hdd et 3 M2. Il est petit mais très bien conçu, place importante pour le câble management

I need a relatively mid server to as a data backup repository and to power my media server, some tech in my home, plus a few services that I use professionally. Was running off a self-contained NAS for a few years and honestly it just isn't scaling well and we needed more drive bays. Using this case, I built a new server with a high end ITX mobo and a real processor. SO much better! This has some amazing features. The backplane that connects the HDDs works great with the bays. My ONLY complaint is the dang 4-pin molex power connectors on that backplane. Those are old and unnecessary. I had to get adapters so I didn't have to add yet another power cable from my PSU (especially with such tight space inside). Anyway, the trays work great. The rubber screw gromit system is simple and firm. I like it a lot. Only could have been better if it was toolless maybe, though I don't think the 4 screws per drive are bad. There is plenty of space for everything I needed. Love the amount of tiedown points. Cable management was really satisfying. My only other complaint is the top section being secured by 4 hex screws. I feel like now that the system is done and running it won't have to be accessed all that often I guess? Either way I had some anxiety trying to figure out when I finally wanted to close it up. Overall I think this unit is solidly built. Cooling has been totally adequate under load so far as long as you tune the fans well. No complaints about noise either. The included fans are totally fine. Footprint is compact enough to keep tucked away, though cool looking enough to show off to your tech friends.

Package arrived undamaged and contained all the items identified on the product page. TLDR: Loving this NAS, larger form-factor but easier to populate with good components. Lots of air circulation and it has room for 8 drives! This journey started because I needed to replace an older NAS that has been out of support and security updates for quite some time. It still worked for my needs but thought it was time. I initially went to a pre-configured NAS box that all I had to do was install the drives and be done but I had so many problems just getting the NAS up and running I returned that POS and decided to build one myself. I priced out all the parts and with having some older components already I ended up saving money and getting a much better system in the end. The box is a larger form factor for a NAS so you may want to take a close look at the dimensions to make sure you're ok with it. I am happy it is as big as it is because it's easier for me to get all the components in it I want. There is lots of room for an ITX board, SFX PSU and you still have slots for 2 cards. There are 2 fans in the lower section where all the drives are and there is space for two more fans in the upper section. I haven't added any fans to the upper section yet, it is surrounded on 3 sides with louvered vents so it stays pretty cool for now. I don't see needed those two fans right now but i like having the option. The existing two fans are a bit loud but not unbearable, my home heating air vents are louder so it's not an issue for me. It will eventually go in a server room anyway. The drive bays were a bit of a surprise, the plugs are hot-swappable, which is great, but I have found I rarely have to sap them so I haven't really needed this function, but you add these rubber grommets to the screw hole on each hdd (4 in total) and those grommets fit into a metal groove top and bottom of the drive bay. Its a little awkward pushing the drive in all the way and has more friction than I am use to but it does work and the benefit is those rubber grommets serve as shock absorbers. So since I rarely ever swap drives I think this will work ok, I just hope those rubber grommets don't deteriorate and cause the drive to become unbalanced. Not much going on for the front display, just a power button, power light and drive light where you've added a drive. I only have 4 in it right now but love that this is an 8 drive case and overall (not included the parts I already had) cost me quite a bit less than the other pre-configured unit would have cost me. Very happy.

Caja perfecta para NAS. Vino un poco arañada y no fui capaz de que me realizaran el cambio pero en si el producto funciona perfecto

Die Verarbeitung ist grundsolide und alles ist gut entgratet. Insgesamt auch gut durchdacht. Allerdings gibt es die eine oder andere zweifelhafte Designentscheidung: - Die Montage des Netzteils erfordert einen extrem langen Kreuzschlitzschraubendreher (Phillips) - mindestens 16 cm Schaftlänge, mehr ist besser. Selbst in meiner doch recht umfangreichen Schraubendreherkollektion fand sich kein passender. - Die obere Gehäuseschale wird mit Inbus-Schrauben (aka Allen key - nicht wie in einer Rezension hier behauptet Torx) befestigt, der ganze Rest mit Phillips-Schrauben. Ein entsprechender Schlüssel liegt allerdings bei. - Die Frontplatte vor den Festplatten wird magnetisch gehalten. Das funktioniert zwar recht gut, erschwert allerdings etwas das Lagern der überzähligen Festplattengriffe im Festplattenraum, da diese gerne gegen die Front drücken. - Die Festplatten werden mit Gummiführungen gehalten. Das funktioniert sogar extrem gut - allerdings frage ich mich, wie viele Festplattenwechsel die mitmachen. Höchstwahrscheinlich mehr als jemals erforderlich, aber ein paar mehr Ersatzführungen wären trotzdem nicht verkehrt gewesen. Die Lüfter sind zwar alles andere als leise, aber auch nicht so furchtbar laut, wie hier einige Rezensionen vermuten lassen (allerdings definitiv nichts für den Wohn- oder Schlafbereich). Da 92 mm Standardmaß (nicht 80 mm wie in der Artikelbeschreibung) aber gut austauschbar. Insgesamt immer noch das vermutlich beste ITX-Gehäuse mit 8 Festplatten-Bays auf dem Markt. Würde gerne 4,5 von 5 Sternen vergeben, aber das geht ja leider nicht ;-)
