How Do I Arrange My New Lab ??

[Bankole Oladoja]

Please where can I get a HDD storage Rack ?

For now I use this kind of styrofoam and cardboard box.
I ask for them on companies that sell many HDD's and they have them from the HDD manufacturers.

just be careful with the IKEA thing with the weight you put in there

Here's what I use:

The shelves come in chrome finish--much nicer but more expensive. The rack comes in a much larger capacity and bins are available separately.

Thank you guys.

keeping all the stackable storage boxes exactly the same size really helps, different sizes and shapes really looks ugly and is not space friendly. Always clearly label things with a labeller, and same size shape labels if you want it to look profesh. don't skimp on bench space, and if you make the benches a little wider than normal, you can stack storage crates underneath lengthways, and still have foot room, and make great use of space.

I use these bins from Uline:

Along with these racks:

Not cheap ones I realize, but I've been adding and collecting bins for a while now. I'm up to about 100+ bins.

I highly recommend a no-slip liner for the bins, to reduce damage (or frayed nerves) when the drives slide and fall in partially-filled bins. Like this, bought here.

You can buy a roll of that stuff right at any Walmart or Home Depot. It's usually in the kitchen / cabinet section.
