I love the [http://www.cabledeconn.com/Mini-SAS-Series-/SATA-Esata-list-138-160.html CableDeconn bunched SATA] data cables; they're definitely the only way to fly, assuming lack of SATA backplanes. We end up with 4x 3.5 drives in the bay, 10x 3.5 drives in CaseLabs cages in the PSU side, 3x M.2 devices in the motherboard PCIe 4.0 slots, and 2x M.2 devices in the HyperX card. This leaves room for 2 more M.2s in the card, and 4x 2.5 devices in the smaller bay. The bottom 2 slots in the bottom hard drive cage are blocked by the PSU-side radiator; indeed, I had to take a hacksaw to said cage to get it into the machine. | I love the [http://www.cabledeconn.com/Mini-SAS-Series-/SATA-Esata-list-138-160.html CableDeconn bunched SATA] data cables; they're definitely the only way to fly, assuming lack of SATA backplanes.
