A strong home NAS shell for anyone filling many large drives around a small board, with fans already fitted. Board support stops at Mini ITX and expansion is tight, so plan the build around that.

Overview
A stacked drive cage takes up most of this Jonsbo chassis, which pairs a row of large hard disk bays with a Mini ITX motherboard tray. Twin built-in fans move air across the drives inside an aluminum mini-tower shell.
Drive density in a small footprint is what makes it worth choosing, since most of the case exists to house storage. Expansion is limited and the board choice is narrow, so builds that need several add-in cards or a larger platform will outgrow it.
Who it's for
Home lab and media storage builds that put capacity first suit this Jonsbo case. Builders chasing ATX boards, several add-in cards or a showpiece glass window need a different chassis.
Pros and cons
- Room for many large hard drives
- Two fans preinstalled
- Compact footprint for a storage server
- USB ports on the case itself
- Board support ends at Mini ITX
- Just two expansion slots
- Fan noise level not listed
- Cooling method listed as air only
Performance notes
Drive temperatures depend on how much air the twin fans push through the cage, and that airflow drops as bays fill and gaps close. Spinning disks add heat and vibration, so fan control from the motherboard governs the balance between quiet and cool.
