to power all 9 drives in Jonsbo N3 you only need two Molex and two SATA power connectors on the PSU two Molex and one Sata for the control board in the 3.5-inch drive compartment (control board supplies power to the individual 3.5-inch drives) and one SATA for a 2.5-inch drive in the motherboard compartment Personally, I managed to fit 13 drives in this case (2x 2.5 inches, 8 x 3.5 inches and 3x M.2 nvme) + low-priority Intel Arc A380 GPU I only had to buy two splitters from Aliexpress and have a motherboard with the PCIe bifurcation option
I like jonsbo - they are different and are not afraid to break the meta. Can you please do a video about the Aerocool Cipher? I'm very interested in it.
I love my Jonsbo N1 but cable management in such a small form factor is super difficult. I might move to the N3 at some point, but I've heard the N2 and N3 get super load with the onboard fan.
Just because something fits it doesn't mean you should. Most of the negative point mentioned was because this NAS case was attempted to be used as a gaming style ITX case. There are better case with better price than this one if you are going for gaming purposes. Most dedicated GPU that you would typically see in NAS/Home server are low profiles ones which would definitely fit with no issue. Sorry but this review is a bad one imo...
You’re trying to use a NAS case for gaming… you didn’t come out and say it, but servers don’t care about video cards… most are “headless” and never even get hooked up to a monitor. I configured 5 IBM servers and they were never connected to a monitor, mouse or keyboard. I understand why gamers use small cases, but understand,that’s not what most of them are intended for. The latest and greatest video card in a server case is useless for what they designed it for. They shouldn’t have even bothered designing it to accept a video card, but I understand why they did…so they can’t open up the purchasing market to improve sales.

What motherboard did you use for this setup?
Thank you my friend.
Thank you too

Love what Jonsbo is doing without a doubt!
As for AeroCool, I haven’t heard a peep from them since Covid started, so unfortunately I doubt.
@PCCrazyDario Is there room for (2) 80mm fans with the Noctua NH D9L installed?

Don't actually have the NHD9L myself, but there should enough space in the N3 for that.

funny.. my M-ITX motherboard has 12 SATA ports and N5095 CPU.
ITX are usually short of SATA ports. What's your motherboard?

@@craigprocter1232 thanks
Data hoarding lets go
Haha definitely. Just more HDDs with larger capacity 😅
