JONSBO N4 Black NAS PC Enclosure Walnut 8 Drive Bay / 6 x 3.5" HDD (4 Hot Swaps, 2 Non Hot Swap), 2 x 2.5 SSDs, Micro ATX/ITX Enclosure, USB 3.2Gen2Type-C, 1 x 120mm Fan Built-in,

Fairly loud fan, nice case otherwise. Fits my needs pretty well. Don't forget you need an SFC PSU, and modular is really handy to keep the voids as clear as possible for airflow.

Really great case. Plenty of drive bays for a small NAS, and it's decently laid out and doesn't use alan keys like the n3. Only issue is the top cavity where the board sits was simply too short and I didn't check (I underestimated the dimensions). This case requires a minimum combined board height of 92mm, before you purchase make sure your heatsink has enough clearance! I had to settle with the N3 instead.

I was surprised how much I loved this thing once it arrived! Pros: - No sharp corners or metal. Compared to some of the devices I've received, especially how much you have to grab and reach into the case to e.g. route the SATA cables, there are no sharp edges I've found. - Very compact given the # of bays, and SATA backplane (left side) works great. Left side of bay is hot swap, right side has to be manually set up, which is a little annoying, but the price you won't hear anything bad out of me. - Looks amazing. I love looking at this in my homelab setup. - Quiet, takes a regular SFX compact power supply, doesn't have any giant extra fans like getting a decomm'd enterprise server off eBay. - Powerful (or as powerful as you want it). Since it just takes a MicroATX board, I have consolidated many services into one including all my Proxmox VMs, as I installed my own Ryzen 5600 processor instead of having to deal with some integrated low-end N95 or 100 CPU. Has room for 3 or 4 PCIe slots (half height) on your ITX/mATX board as well. Cons: - As mentioned, having the right side bay (inlcuding the 2.5" drives) need to be manually set up with the SATA power and cabling is a bit of a PIA. But this is a very inexpensive device. But I only needed two drives on that side. - No remote console. You can obviously DIY one yourself (I got the AOOCOO HDMI USB KVM Extender Over Cat 6/7 to solve this). Some IPMI module with built-in power would be ideal, but again this is not enterprise hardware and it's certainly not enterprise pricing. I am super happy I took a chance on this, will report back if I have any issues, but so far it's been at least a month and has been smooth sailing.

Great for a small home NAS comes with a 3 pin 120mm fan in the back that I upgraded to a PWM to manage the fan curve better. Manual doesn't really have any information in it about clearances so I have to check their website. Top shelf is small so make sure you get a LP CPU cooler. Out side of the case gives it a nice look if you dont have a closet/rack to hide it in.

Lovely case for a small ATX or ITX motheboard. Great for a styled build, blending nice in my office. However, I will take 1 star because: 1st the HDD barely have airflow. I found a 3d print mod that fixes this. However, it takes away from the nice looks of the case. If I were to seriously use this, I will add the mod because it can't keep HDD temperature low with the current set up 2nd barely can't fit a CPU cooler on this. I had to use a ITX cooler. Be aware.

Its a nice, functional case for a small at home NAS. Leaves a little to be desired in the cooling department though as there is only 1 (a little noisy) 120mm fan mounted in exhaust at the back and no other pre-drilled fan mounting holes on the case at all. Now I say pre-drilled because if you're like me and are running a bit of a larger array and populate all the hard drive bays you'll notice this thing gets a little warm. You can tinker like I did and enlarge a few of the mesh holes on top and fit 2 120s on the top and I was able to squeeze 2 92mm slim fans in the front of the bays just affixed with some good 2 sided tape. You'll have to forgo the drive handles supplied by jonsbo in that case though. As far as functionality though everything works as described. There are a few fan mods to 3D print out there for these jonsbo cases .

Pretty happy with this case. I was initially confused that it did not come with drive trays but that explained itself when it comes with hardware that essentially makes the drives themselves trays. Case looks good. Its a bit tight behind the non-backplaned side of the drive tray area and keeping cables clean is a bit of a challenge. The fan is loud but considering its the only one in the case besides the cpu cooler I'd rather have the airflow than it be quiet.
