NAS in a Can

so here is version 1 of the NAS i was building earlier. some notes: - i originally was going to create some kind of case with wood or lexan but i got lazy. the project sat on a bench untouched because everything else was working. - i kinda wanted to get this done, every time i glanced at it, i was thinking of things i could use as a makeshift case. i then thought of using a small DSC alarm can. did some quick placements and everything ended up fitting so i drilled out some holes and screwed the components inside the can. - i am happy with the finished product. i will eventually paint the can a matte black and add some stenciling in gold(?). i also would like to add a 20x4 LCD to show hostname, disk space, and temperature onto the door of the NAS. - i am going to drill out some vent holes for better airflow. i will monitor temperatures and if required, install an extra fan inside of the can. - to secure the door, i will be installing a camlock on the door. the door also has holes for sc

project update

i went to rugged air, paid 50bux to get some lexan pieces cut to create a mounting solution for the nas. took a similar route as I did for the Google photos downloader. my cuts were a little too big so i trimmed them down. i mounted each hard drive to a plate, and stacked them on top of each other with m2.5 brass standoffs. on top of the hard drives, the raspberry pi was mounted on another plate. 2x 2tb hdds + rPi 4 i decided to mount everything temporarily to a piece of lexan 10x4.5 for the time being so I can get an idea whether I want to use the wood or continue using lexan for the rest of the build. prototyping the nas. each component is mounted together. i just received a left angle USB 3 a to micro b cable as well as an rj45 panel mount. need to start working on rear panel next. also need to find out what to purchase locally should I continue to use lexan for the build. i hope whomever is reading this enjoys this and my progress. this has become a new hobby, building things.
