Hi, has anyone seen an aftermarket lid for NUC chassis that provides for either 2 or 4 expansion drives?

There are plenty of USB and audio lids, but I haven't found one that is designed for disk expansion.

Thanks

careful ... putting lots of hdd into cramp spaces might overheat hdd ... hdd die very fast under excess temperature (their temperature tolerance is much lower than cpu and gpu)

Answering my own question; There are a couple of companies that make larger 'expansion cases' for NUC motherboards.  Akasa is one.  Lots of interesting options in there.

Reason I'm asking is that during a company transition, we placed multiple i5 NUCs at offices world-wide as local bootp and dns/print servers to maintain continuity of service while other servers and cloud services were transitioned to new places..  Transitions is done, devices are all coming back to my desk.  The boxes have essentially no value, so I expect that it will be first-come first-served after I wipe the drives.
