@andrewcook495 2 месяца назад

There's a lot of people complaining a lot about this case, forgetting that not everyone *needs* 8 hot swappable drives and full height/length PCI-E cards. I just did a build in one of these, and it's perfect for my needs. I've gone with a mid-range CPU (Ryzen 5 5600G), 4 drives, and a couple of 2.5Gbe NICs. It's been happily running my Proxmox VMs and TrueNAS for weeks. If they made something as big as the N3, it wouldn't fit in the space where I have the N4. Jonsbo probably can and should update the N3 in the same style for those who do need the extra power and storage. I think the N2 and N3 look a little cheap personally, but there's room for them to make options for everyone here. I am really impressed with the quality overall. I do kind of agree with your comments on drive mounting, but swapping drives is a very rare occurrence for me, so I'm okay with it. I will add that I have two very minor complaints about the N4: - The stock 120mm fan is a little louder than I'd like - not uncomfortably loud, but I probably will replace it in the future. - The PSU placement is pretty bad. This is my first build with a SFX PSU, and I was caught out by the short 24-pin ATX connector. I had to buy an extension for it to reach. Something to be aware of for anyone doing a build with the N4.

@sunnycloudy1337 3 месяца назад

10:12 - you dont need a base/side level vent because you should install the PSU upside down, so that it also helps the two HDDs and SSDs with cooling by sucking the air from the front of the case, passing through the HDDs/SSDs and exhausting it via the back, just like the 120 fan is doing it for the other half of the case

@tonysleight7574 3 месяца назад

Another great presentation on a NAS case, well done and thank you for all your videos. Personally, I would like to see an Unraid installation on this Jonsbo N4 case. I have watched many of your presentations and was seriously considering the Jonsbo N3 case for my NAS solution. However, delivery delays and the PSU being a 1U limitation meant that the SFX PSU I already had available could not be used. In the end I plumbed for a Silverstone CS380, with my Corsair 850 FSX PSU, ASUS micro ATX motherboard, 16 Gbyte DDR4, AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with on board graphics and a low profile Noctua cooling fan I had as a spare. Twin 2.5 G ethernet ports and a 8 port SATA card in the PCIe slots. I used Unraid as it was the only one to support different disc sizes in the storage pool and has ZFS, so storage wise 18 Tb parity disc, 18 Tb, 16 TB and two 6 TB HDD, two 2Tb NVMe drives, One 2TB SSD Cache pool, one 2TB SSD RAID 1 cache pool. So, I would love to see how this N4 setup compares with my CS380 NAS using using Unraid, different HDD sized discs in the storage pool with ZFS and maybe multiple cache pools with the NVMe slots. I will be intereseted to know what the cabling is like to get maximum use out of the available slots.

Docker runs like a dream, I haven't put any VMs on yet though, so I have no data for these. I have SSD Raid 1 cache for Nextcloud to reduce risk of data loss due to SSD failure on upload of data. The other 2Tb SSD cache is for media streaming and so, doesn't need Raid 1.

@empedance1933 3 месяца назад

Id be interested in seeing how higher quality fans would make a difference in the cooling capability, like replacing that stock 120mm fan with a Phanteks T30, and adding an 60 or 80mm Noctua as an intake in the top right 2 3.5in drive bays (since there's no SATA/SAS backplane there anyway) that would give cool air to both the PSU and bottom of the motherboard. You could mod fans into the top cover as well but then you'd have to deal with the cables every time you open it, unless you add some thin pieces of metal to mount the fans to

@Skywake 10 дней назад

I think the thing you're missing is the cost. Firstly the fact that mATX motherboards are usually cheaper than mITX because the latter has less space and expansion. Also the N4 is, at least at the retailer I'm looking at, by far the cheapest of these Jonsbo NAS cases. It's even cheaper than the Node 304/804 which don't have any backplane Speaking for myself, my NAS is a i5-4590 in a 10 year old mATX motherboard with 2x 10TB HDDs (new-ish) and 2x 2TB HDDs. Mostly repurposing old hardware. I'll almost surely upgrade it fairly soon but when I do it'll be to the Ryzen 5 3600X that's my current daily driver which also has an mATX board. This N4 case? Seems perfect for my needs. None of their other cases really meet my requirements as well as this one does. And is certainly a decent upgrade from what can be best be described as the curbside case I'm currently using which is ugly, loud and has poor HDD ventilation

Please somebody had experience with this?

@MrKeithsplace 3 месяца назад

I just built mine with a Audheid K7 8 bay, cheap but I like the drive bays, and aesthetics. Sharp edges, light weight, cooling options could be improved, but over all, I liked the 1u flex power supply, as I purchased a eco bronze efficiency PS. As my other server is an older dual Xeon 600watt dual power sully, that can double as a space heater, even at idle. This one can run 24-7, at 75watts idle before the 8 drives spin down to standby. I was looking for an ATX option before deciding on the eco option.

This actually is great for my use case, but I just can’t justify spending about $200 for what amounts to just a case swap. I know most of that is just shipping to the states but still, it’s mostly just a (very nice) cosmetic upgrade to what I’m using now.

@TwistedMe13 3 месяца назад

Some really sus design choices for an otherwise good case. Ideas for the eventual N5 case: Clone the left side of the hard drive compartment to the right, but make the second backplane an optional upsell if you're that concerned about cost Jonsbo. Keep the Micro-Atx mobo compatibility but allow for full height/length add-on cards and use the required increase in compartment space to include a pair 120mm fan mounts on one side. Ditch the rubber bands for actual drive sleds (even stamped sheet metal would be an improvement). Because at $142.31 (shipping included and a 25% off base price discount) you're approaching Silverstone territory (CS380 ($239.99)/CS382($249.99)) price-wise. As it stands with the N4 the juice (money saved vs SST) is not worth the squeeze.

Though your argument about beefy heatsink not fitting is valid, but is there any cpu heatsinks that would fit in this type of case? why not mention and test for that to see the temp results? that would be worth exploring wouldn't it?

@esunisen3862 3 месяца назад

This box design is quite schtewpid, innit ? I don’t see why would anyone choose this case over a N3. MATX support is useless if you can’t fit large cards, just stick with ITX. I think a Define R6 (or XL if you need more drives) is cheaper and you can slightly mod it to fit a SAS backplane with the proper SFF connectors.

@BrunodeSouzaLino 3 месяца назад

IMO this was a downgrade in comparison to the N3 simply because the N3 is a smaller case for Minit-ITX mobos, but it can fit 8 3.5" drives into a backplane. And it's not like they couldn't simply maintain the 8 drive structure from the N3 and add the extra two spaces for 2.5" drives. You can comfortably fit 10 drives in there if they go vertical like they are in the N2 and N3.

They just copied another Chinese NAS case called the "Treasure Box", which has eight 3.5inch bays and MATX motherboard. The Jonsbo NAS cases are really not that great, and not priced competitively. There is another case called the "Sagittarius", also eight hotswap 3.5inch bays and MATX and retails for CN￥349 which is about US$48.

@Hambert09 3 месяца назад

I have similar thoughts about the Sagittarius chassis. It's slightly larger than the Jonsbo N4, but in return it has better ventilation, eight 3.5" hotswap bays and room for two 2.5" drives under (full) PCIe slots. I was curious about the build quality, unfortunately there are no reviews of this product, but I decided to take a chance and ordered it on the recent Aliexpress sale for €110 (including 23% tax and shipping to Europe). In my opinion, there is no better match for an 8-bay NAS enclosure at a reasonable price, and I would be happy to see material that would reliably review this product.

@@Hambert09 how is the cpu cooling with the psu positioned the way it is?

@Hambert09 3 месяца назад

@@MrRakushin This will mainly affect the PSU. I am thinking about positioning the CPU fan towards the PSU to dissipate heat from the case. This will affect the PSU fan at higher speeds. However, in my experience, SFX power supplies such as the Corsair SF600 or SF750 (I had a Silverstone Strider SFX, but I don't recommend it) were the quietest components in the case. Another option is to use a PicoPSU or HDPLEX 250W GaN ATX PSU, this gives you a wider choice of CPU cooling, but the overall price of the NAS / home server will increase. However, it's a better concept than the Jonsbo N4, where the power supply is next to the hard drive with only one fan dissipating heat from the case. The processor in the Sagittarius may throttle, but the risk is for processors with 150W+ power consumption, in the Jonsbo the power supply is next to the hard drives with no overheat protection, so their lifespan may be affected. It all depends on what you put in and what you care most about (though hard drives are the most likely to be affected).

@@ZeroSiks The fan would push air into the power supply. Potentially, you could turn the PSU so that it draws air from outside, but that would force the use of a smaller cooler for the CPU so that there would be room to pull air in.

Looking at all you said, I think this case is a pos.

That's a bit strong. There's a market for this, but it's decidedly more niche than the N2 or N3

I own this case. Some issues are: My 24-pin atx cable from my Corsair SF750 is slightly too short to make the run on the w680ace mobo. The aforementioned 4-bay hotswap instead of 6 is not the end of the world. Half-height cards aren't the end of the world either. The good thing about this case is it looks amazing. 12600k CPU temps with the Noctua L12S (Low profile mode) are great, I have only seen it go to 44 degrees under load. 4 8 TB drives only stay around 41-44 degrees with Noctua fans at 840rpm. I'd say it's a good chassis if you don't mind the small footprint and only 4 hot swaps.

100% know what you mean about the cables. My low rent SFX PSU for test builds was almost 150mm to short....I discovered AFTER all other components were in. So angry...
