Looking to add a couple of drives to my nas4free. All existing bays are full, but there is empty ample empty space in the PC to add a cage for 4 or even more internal drives.
I can't find where to buy a (cheap) cage for adding HD mounting space in my ATX box. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Re: Where does one find HD cages?
I'm probably not using the right terms for what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something like the picture below, but for 4 drives instead of 2. What is this called, and where can one buy stuff like this? Thanks!

Re: Where does one find HD cages?
that is case specifc.
if you want something different you would need to build it yourself.
prob easier to just buy a new case.

Thanks for the advice. Not too keen on buying a new case, so I'll try to build something myself, and have the fun of experienceb0ssman wrote:that is case specifc.
