Petabytes on a budget - Building on the Backblaze Storage Pod design

June 8, 2010

Updated Backblaze Storage Pod Design Sent To Be Fabbed In The UK

Filed under: Manufacture — thattommyhall @ 9:16 pm

We have collected the moneys and the 2D manufacturing diagram are with the factory now. It will be in “Fine texture black” and I will be printing some UKBlazers labels to stick on mine to jazz it up a bit.

We made a few additions to the design to accommodate lowering the hard drive cage to run without the port multipliers (more on that later, hoping for Thumper-like performance!) allow for the manufacture to be punch only rather than requiring laser cutting and holes for 2×2.5″ disks for the OS. You can get the files here and a viewer for them at this site . I hope these files are of some use if someone else is going to do this.

We will have a few spare so if anyone wants to get some, please email me at tom@tthuk.com
