Server cases are more than just a box, they help to keep all the components cool and working optimally. These rackmount cases are designed to slot into the industry-standard 19in wide equipment racks found in comms rooms and datacentres.

It’s important to choose the right case for your server because components such as motherboards, CPU coolers, graphics cards, power supplies and drives come in a wide variety of sizes, and also have their own cooling requirements. Check your component documentation to find out sort of case is right for you.

These rackmount cases are 1U high and are designed for entry-level and high-density servers. Although every case in this category is 19in wide, also make sure to check case length versus the depth of your cabinet, as this varies from model to model.

From display adapters to power cables, these accessories help you get the most from your graphics card.

Here you will find various adaptors and other miscellaneous equipment for internal SSDs and HDDs to help adapt them to your requirements.

This range of removable caddies enables you to hot-swap one or more 2.5in or 3.5in HDDs or SSDs in a desktop PC or tower server with sufficient free drive bays.

Data cables are an essential part of any PC build, connecting internal components or external devices, allowing transfer of data and power.

These cables were common in older systems connecting HDDs, FDDs, optical drives and fans case fans to the motherboard.

A storage controller is a hardware device used to manage HDDs or SSDs in a server or storage array. While all motherboards include a basic storage controller built into the chipset, it is commonplace to add a third party storage controller if you need extra capacity or want to configure them in RAID to protect data.

A RAID controller card is similar to a Host Bus Adapter (HBA), but can also add redundancy (RAID) for the drives, help optimise performance, reduce latency, or even make smart decisions on whether to store data on an HDD or an SSD cache, depending on user needs. Since these additional tasks consume power and processing speed, RAID controllers are typically more expensive than HBAs and handle fewer devices. They are however recommended where data is critical and needs some degree of protection and in scenarios where different drive types are being used such as a single array containing SSDs for regularly accessed data and HDDs for archive purposes.

Data cables are an essential part of any PC build, connecting internal components or external devices, allowing transfer of data and power.

These SAS cables provide a data connection from the motherboard to SAS HDDs and SSDs.

Various additional items designed for use with specific servers.

Accessories for server cases, these include rails and brackets for mounting cases into racks.
