It’s time to get some storage for the homelab. I could get a Synology, but I’d quite like to build my own using ZFS.

However it seems hard (or my Google-fu sucks) to find good, reasonably priced 4 bay JBODs. Most of what I can find either looks very cheap or is almost as expensive as a Synology.

Any suggestions?

    That’s a great price, weird that you turn each drive on individually! Thanks. :-)

      It’s meant for hot swapping, so you don’t have to shut off the whole housing. But yeah, the fact that it doesn’t turn back on after a sudden power loss is… inconvenient. Mine is stationed at my parents’ place (they have gigabit fiber).
