best way is to buy a different box/case with more drive bays. If that's not possible you could use the bays at the top where you currently have the DVD drives by getting different brackets to fit the drives.
if all else fails, and you don't care too much about the data, you can always get some velcro and store some extra drives at the bottom right :) Jon On 23 July 2014 19:19, Harry Putnam via illumos-discuss < [email protected]> wrote: > This is something like cross post here and on oi.general.
