That looks pretty good and 15 bays. Maybe you can share some more pics in the completed build section.
I am pretty sure that I posted a few in the #DAS channel on discord way back when. Maybe 2 years ago now. There is a Intel sas expander inside and a dual mini-sas connector on the back. At the time I was connected to a LSI 9200 8-E.
It looks good, all shiny and works well. My gripe would be the overall cost and perhaps noise/heat, but there really isn’t much more I could do with this setup. I like the smaller 8 bay mini with larger drives much better.
Has anyone else been able to find more of these cases? I haven’t seen anymore on ebay.

Nope, and the seller basically told me to pound sand when I asked about them.

This SANS DIGITAL TowerRAID looks awfully similar…
Well that’s nice of them lol
I thought it looked like a Sans Digital box too! It is probably some sort of spillage as in fell of the truck.

Still waiting on some parts to come in but I’ve got this built and waiting on the lower portion to come in which will house some 2.5 inch drives
I took it to mean it took up (5) 5.25" bays but it only takes up 3 so I ended up ordering this which I believe will work on ok.

Also have some cheap fans coming…I can already tell running 5 hdd’s in that banggood cage is gonna produce some heat.

That cage fits 120mm fans in the front…
Yeah I got it…the fan I have on top right now is 135mm. It’s from a old power supply so I guess that’s the reason for it being a odd ball size.

If there’s any Aussies here I recommend Amazon for the Mini SAS cable. I ordered two from China and they took forever. Orered from CableDeconn on Amazon AU and it came within 3 days!
Looks like this guy has one more of these 8 bays “as is”. I paid just slightly more from this fellow but it didn’t say “as is” and at 75 its not cheap. But its unobtainable otherwise. I’d vet it but I did get my case, new and fine for around 85 delivered if you need one of these. Looks like last one.

These U-NAS chassis look nice and they’ve got just a few left. Different numbers of hot swap bays available. U-NAS.
Eh, they’re OK. Expensive and hardware options are limited.
How does unraid handle DAS when you have something like a power outtage senerio? Will thinks remount?
It’s no different than having a power outage on unraid itself.
Any updated suggestions for a DAS case?
Unfortunately not, closest we’ve gotten lately was the U-NAS.
eBay thought I would be interested in this listing. I thought it might help someone out. Only 1 available but the price looked good to me.
Edit:. I’m in Canada and the shipping looks crazy. I’m not sure what it is in the US. Sorry if it’s crazy high as well. Maybe a local pickup is an option.
$80 in the US to Virginia. Not too good. Great deal if you’re in Mass
