Hard Disk Drive Bays
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

On Figure 10 you can see the hard disk drive bays. Each one contains a plastic drawer that not only makes hard disk drive installation very easy, but also allows hot swapping, if your motherboard also supports this feature, of course (hot swapping allows you to replace your hard disk drive with the computer turned on). This case comes with only one hot swap connector, which is installed on the first bay (we will show this connector when we talk about the inside of this case), but you can buy additional connectors from SilverStone and install them on the other three bays in order to have a RAID solution with hot swapping.

These bays are available inside a cage, which can be removed, allowing you to install three 5 ¼” external devices there. The case still has one more internal 3 ½” bay for hard disk drives.

Removing each drawer is very simple, just press the right latch, pull the front part of the drawer to an angle of 45º to release the drawer and them just pull the drawer towards you.

As you can see the hard disk drive drawer has four rubber shock absorbers to prevent the hard disk drive natural vibration (because of its internal motors) from propagating to the case.
