3 drive HDD cage

 picture log http://m2h.ca/drivecage/backstory ITX case only had a 3.5 and 5.25 bay. Tried to mount a second 3.5 HDD in the optical bay, but the holes were wacky (non standard). So I made my own drive cage, and got 3 drives in there. There is 1/4 inch space between each drive, and a 80mm fan blowing directly across them from the farside.

Are you concerned that the proximity of the drives to the fan (electromagnet) might cause a loss of data?

Probably not nearly enough magnetic power to do anything.

No different case. I ordered two of these cases awhile ago. I have a case of case addiction.

Are you concerned that the proximity of the drives to the fan (electromagnet) might cause a loss of data? I recently discovered the vibration of a fan can have serious consequences on drive speed. There is a nice video out there in the wild proving this. So I'm more concerned about that now.

Do you have any cooling for them? A nice 120mm fan blowing at them would be good. Increase their lifespan.
