      Why so much SSD storage? Just get SSD’s for you OS and games etc and get HDD’s, maybe put them in a NAS. Much cheaper that SSD’s. You don’t need the speed for data storage.

        Thanks, I know, I’m not new to the game. I just had prioritize absolute silence over cost/performance, since I live in 30 m2 and I can’t stand the otherwise sweet buzzing of HDDs. I need absolute silence to be able to sleep, so I bought four 4TB Samsung 870 EVOs.

        I am however planning to build an HDD rack with a RPi, which I then intend to keep in one of my closets in order to isolate the sound. For now, I have cages for eight. :)

          That’s pretty dope. Would you mind posting a photo or two of your 4xSSD setup? Also, what are they hooked up to, a mini PC?

          Nice! I totally get it. Just some advice: if you build something for in your closet, make sure it stands on thick rubber feet / mat. Or make a cage suspend from elastic binders. Anything to avoid the vibrations to go into the wood/metal of the closet.

          It’s how I have my NAS, also in a closet (next to Tom Cruise)

          Some sound isolation pads (soft foam with pointy bits) around it are also an option. Just make sure it gets enough air for cooling. If you need more fresh air from outside, use the silent Noctua fans, they have less air displacement but really are very silent.
