I wish I Made This For My Computer Years Ago!!!

11 місяців тому

Having date storage on your computer is one thing, but having external storage for movies, videos, or just documents is something that most people use everyday, and keeping those hard drives organized can be a nightmare. I have over 200 TB of video that needs to be stored so I came up with a cool solution to this problem. In this video I show you guys how to build a fine woodworking box with dovetails that can handle all your hard drives with just one plug into your computer.

I would be concerned about the impact of the trapped heat from the foam affecting the hard drives' reliability and longevity.

@brileybuilds 7 місяців тому

I thought about this too. Interesting to see how this turns out!

@dtbeach 11 місяців тому

Absolutely beautiful build. I’m not an expert. But I’m a little concerned about air flow and heat. Just found your channel and enjoyed the project. Thank you.

I like the idea of the hard drive box what do you have failed to remember is how hot they get when they’re working so I think about the heat and I may consider making one

@TotalBoat 11 місяців тому

This piece is amazing! What a beautiful and functional project.

@lockdown9838 10 місяців тому

Hey man love the video, it's a beautiful peace. However you are dramatically impacting the life of those drives without having proper ventilation and them being surrounded by that foam! Just wouldn't want you to lose any of that hard earned data or footage!

@maartenhappel9014 11 місяців тому

Nice!, but how about heat? All the disks in this foam ... Hope it goes ok :-)

I just stumbled across your channel yesterday with the video about making a bed for your daughter and it has really piqued my interest in wood working. Do you know of any good videos explaining like the different tools or the differences between types of wood?

@jimboladd2305 11 місяців тому

very nice!!!!!!!!

@KalebMoutonMedia 11 місяців тому

I have only recently found your channel and I have to say amazing build and very creative. Only recommendation is to add intake and exhaust fans 👌

@redlegwoodshopllc1128 11 місяців тому

Well done. Heat may end up being a little problem but a small adjustment and a vent hole with a fan on the bottom should do the trick. Hook up the fan to one of the hubs too. :). The rest, especially the Wood working part is top notch though. I wish I had the time to strengthen my skills. In due time though. 🤘

@KomarProject 11 місяців тому

I agree with the heat issue. I did end is cutting slits on the bottom of the box to displace that heat. Want to put a fan in there too

Beautiful box though I wouldn't have sawn off the dove tail lugs I thought they looked better sticking out. Are them hardrives not heating up I thought they had to breath??

@MNSweet 11 місяців тому

I like what you did USB hub. Can't argue with the result. As an alternative for future projects, opening up a piece of low voltage electronic and moving the leads from an LED around is easy. Do I think it was worth it here? No, you found the prefect shaped controller and had the CNC to do the work. But I just wanted to put it out there for anyone else reading this. You can make a lot with a little if you are willing to void a few warranties ;)

@wessuess 11 місяців тому

With the need for ensuring your data stays safe and usable, you really should invest in a decent dedicated NAS with RAID. As others have stated, heat is going to build up because of that foam and reduce the longevity of those drives.

@KomarProject 11 місяців тому

I did put in venting in the bottom of it but I think you guys are right I do need to invest in something long term

@tb6729 9 місяців тому

@diogor420 10 місяців тому

@CitizenAyellowblue 11 місяців тому

Lovely work! But I think you need some heat dissipation.

@KomarProject 11 місяців тому

I did put in ventilation in the bottom of the box. I forgot to show that in the video because it was a add on. The heat was my worrie after a couple of uses but it made a huge difference

@TieDyedShawn 11 місяців тому

Hello wonderful job. Not trying the nai sayer here, but did you put vents in for the drives? They will over heat if you do not. Just asking and trying to help.

@KomarProject 11 місяців тому

I did end up putting in vents in the bottom after a couple of uses. I do also want to include a little fan in the bottom. Maybe a follow up video

@mikesionu 11 місяців тому

This looks cool, great work! If I were you though I would get a NAS like Qnap or Synology so you have drive failure tolerance, just a suggestion 🤘

@christianeklund1053 11 місяців тому

Just out of curiousity, how about the drives temperatures? I would prefer having a fan in an enclosure like that for it ^^ Just a bit nitpicky, otherwise awesome stuff =)

@KomarProject 11 місяців тому

Ya I think a fan is in its future

@christianeklund1053 11 місяців тому

Okay :) I built alot of computers and are really into tech overall and i am usually a bit nitpicky, just in this case i could imagine you would be making your drives survive longer by adding one ^^

@pedro_8240 9 місяців тому

If the data in those drive is actually important to you, ditch the external hard drives yesterday and get yourself a proper NAS, with some resilient storage, like ZFS or RAID-5, for example, that way one or more disks, depending on configuration, can die and you won't lose data.

@mindyhall4638 11 місяців тому

Sweet project; how were the pinstripe LEDs powered?

@KomarProject 11 місяців тому

There is a usb plug connected to them and gets plugged into the first switch on the splitter. Then you can turn it on and off like the others.

@Pr0toc01 11 місяців тому

Id love to build a media vault server that gets housed in something that looks that good. Proper storage server with redundant storage pools... mmmmmm now im thinking about needing to build another server and knocking the rust off my woodworking skills. My woodworking skills arent nearly this good but damn I think im going to have to do it... AND I DONT EVEN NEED ANOTHER STORAGE SERVER

@NewVenari 11 місяців тому

Do you need to dissapate heat from the box somehow, or do the drives not overheat? This is a beautiful build and it looks fantastic :)

@KomarProject 11 місяців тому

They do get a little warm. So after it was all done I did cut in slits in the bottom of it to disparate the heat and it’s been working well. I do want to throw a little fan in there to help circulate it as well.

@vmoutsop 11 місяців тому

Portable HDD/SDD's in a foam filled box will overheat. Very nice project but not very practical. Take the foam out, put in open dividers and install some fans and vent holes to cool the devices.

@TheFrostyDave 11 місяців тому

You need to make an update video with the increased fail rate. Would love to know how much money and footage is wasted.

@motionthings 11 місяців тому

The heat generated from this box is going to severely shorten the lives of your hard drives

@RobBread1 11 місяців тому

The box needs ventilation.

@USEditor 2 місяці тому

The need for ventilation, particularly with these types of portable SSDs, is essential. Get rid of “all” of the foam- rout/cut out five rows, 1/18” thick, 4” wide ventilation slits/openings on two facing sides (not on the bottom). Instead of the strips of blue LED lights, insert a fan next to one of vent sides. Sure, it may not look pretty on the inside-but that’s why God invented lids.
