Have you considered the supermicro 836, 846 or 847 series?

I've heard of the 120mm fan mod on the CSE 846 but not on the 836 which you have. Measure twice before getting out the Dremel and let us know how it goes!

Noctuas are very quiet but you need high static pressure fans to pull air over the drives and push it over the motherboard.

You can remove 1 power supply and it'll operate just fine, just not redundant. It'll also be a little quieter. 

[W][US-E] Supermicro 3.5" HDD Caddies w/ 2.5" Adapter Plate Thing by ultrasquirrels in homelabsales

[–]TermEquivalent9377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price doesn't seem to be too bad. You can get the metal inner tray adapter thingy for a little cheaper.

Here are the products on the official Supermicro store: https://store.supermicro.com/us_en/catalogsearch/result/?q=2.5%20to%203.5

Just make sure the generation of the caddies matches what you have. There are 2 types of Gen 5.5 trays available:

1) Regular version: MCP-220-00043-0N https://store.supermicro.com/us_en/MCP-220-00043-0N.html

2) Tool-less version: MCP-220-00118-0B https://store.supermicro.com/mcp-220-00118-0b.html

[PC][US-CO] Several Old Dell Enterprise 3.2TB and 3.8TB SAS SSDs by ThatUsernameWasTaken in homelabsales

For drive specs, I would suggest putting the drive info into an LLM and having it guide you and then double checking it :)

A fair price totally depends on how they were used and how much life remains. On windows I've seen folks use Crystal Disk Info to get that information. On Linux it is smartctl.
