  • Having date storage on your computer is one thing, but having external storage for movies, videos, or just documents is something that most people use everyday, and keeping those hard drives organized can be a nightmare. I have over 200 TB of video that needs to be stored so I came up with a cool solution to this problem. In this video I show you guys how to build a fine woodworking box with dovetails that can handle all your hard drives with just one plug into your computer.

    Hey man love the video, it's a beautiful peace. However you are dramatically impacting the life of those drives without having proper ventilation and them being surrounded by that foam! Just wouldn't want you to lose any of that hard earned data or footage!

  • @MNSweet
    @MNSweet 11 месяцев назад

    I like what you did USB hub. Can't argue with the result. As an alternative for future projects, opening up a piece of low voltage electronic and moving the leads from an LED around is easy. Do I think it was worth it here? No, you found the prefect shaped controller and had the CNC to do the work. But I just wanted to put it out there for anyone else reading this. You can make a lot with a little if you are willing to void a few warranties ;)

    Well done.
    Heat may end up being a little problem but a small adjustment and a vent hole with a fan on the bottom should do the trick. Hook up the fan to one of the hubs too. :).
    The rest, especially the Wood working part is top notch though. I wish I had the time to strengthen my skills. In due time though. 🤘

    With the need for ensuring your data stays safe and usable, you really should invest in a decent dedicated NAS with RAID. As others have stated, heat is going to build up because of that foam and reduce the longevity of those drives.

    If the data in those drive is actually important to you, ditch the external hard drives yesterday and get yourself a proper NAS, with some resilient storage, like ZFS or RAID-5, for example, that way one or more disks, depending on configuration, can die and you won't lose data.

    Portable HDD/SDD's in a foam filled box will overheat. Very nice project but not very practical. Take the foam out, put in open dividers and install some fans and vent holes to cool the devices.

      There is a usb plug connected to them and gets plugged into the first switch on the splitter. Then you can turn it on and off like the others.

    Do you need to dissapate heat from the box somehow, or do the drives not overheat? This is a beautiful build and it looks fantastic :)

      @KomarProject  11 месяцев назад

      They do get a little warm. So after it was all done I did cut in slits in the bottom of it to disparate the heat and it’s been working well. I do want to throw a little fan in there to help circulate it as well.

    Proper storage server with redundant storage pools... mmmmmm now im thinking about needing to build another server and knocking the rust off my woodworking skills. My woodworking skills arent nearly this good but damn I think im going to have to do it... AND I DONT EVEN NEED ANOTHER STORAGE SERVER

  • @USEditor
    @USEditor 2 месяца назад

    The need for ventilation, particularly with these types of portable SSDs, is essential. Get rid of “all” of the foam- rout/cut out five rows, 1/18” thick, 4” wide ventilation slits/openings on two facing sides (not on the bottom). Instead of the strips of blue LED lights, insert a fan next to one of vent sides. Sure, it may not look pretty on the inside-but that’s why God invented lids.
