looking for a modified version
That would be greatly appreciated

I was able to get the remix uploaded to printables. It supports 9mm 2.5 drives and it has a larger channel for wider shaft screwdrivers like the ones sold by certain tech youtubers.

beautiful. DL and I’ll print it out tonight! what program did you use to tinker with the file?
There are a number of different application you can use, but it really depends on the operating system and your budget (free vs paid).
To share some:
- Fusion 360
- Blender
- FreeCAD
- TinkerCAD
- SelfCAD

I honestly don’t know. My sister does CAD modeling professionally so probably one of the paid offerings out there. I went over changes I wanted at Christmas and about an hour later I had the file.
well, let her know it worked great. ty again

Would be very interested in that.
Anyone done a NVME type bracket for that space yet?
wouldn’t a NVMe carrier board be a better solution than a bracket?
Even though prices have dropped they are still high for high-capacity SSD to HDD equivalents. So I suspect that them to be used for smaller homelab implementations for certain use cases.
I think the carrier board can be offered but it lowers the overall capacity of the frame due to high cost of SSDs still.
As data keeps growing a tiered storage approach will be necessary along with what i have seen on these forums of redundant larger format HDDs storage arrays to do snapshots, backup and less critical read/write access.

NVME Carrier board… this would also imply an NVME PCIE card along with a PCIE riser cable, no?
There should be plenty of space via PCIE lane, and you do want some airflow “across” the drives, not just at a hot wall of flash chips.

Actually no - in most cases unless users bought more current boards all the PCI slots are full. And I would rather have a NVME Cooler mounted in the same location.
I guess I’m still not understanding what the need for one would be, or how one would accomplish getting an NVME drive connected if there’s no PCIE slot available.
Confused most Motherboards have at least one slot/adapter port if not more dedicated to NVME’s. The problem is those ports usually go across the other slot connectors and putting NVME modules there would block most full-size cards. Also, without a heat sink it could get pretty hot.
I would use at least two as mirrored boot drives and potentially some faster disk access for some files. Also, most NVME slot cards only hold 2-4 cards and take up slot. Others take up multiple slots. I would personally only do this if i could access the cards externally.
