So I have a plan for a storage server that would use JBOD's to house a bunch of 20TB Hard Drives, the problem ends up being, I need the JBOD's to be quiet and not use a bunch of power. My plan was to use SAS Expander's and use rackmount chassis with 15 3.5" bays minimum to build my own JBOD, but I was not sure if there were any existing ones I could pickup on eBay that are power efficient and quiet.

I do not have a dedicated space for my rack and servers, it's all in my bedroom due to not having any space anywhere else. Wanted to ask if anyone knew of any JBOD's that met my requirements before I went ahead and built the DIY JBOD's

Thanks

edit: I did want to mention the power draw concern is just due to not having the breaker trip
