The Disk Drive Bays

As mentioned, this case has five external 5 ¼” bays, two external 3 ½” bays and three internal 3 ½” bays for hard disk drives. All bays use screwless mechanisms for the installation of disk drives. The mechanism used is really screwless and you don’t need to install any kind of device on your drives. Some “screwless” mechanisms need you to screw rulers to your drives, making them not really “screwless”, making no sense at all.

The screwless mechanism used is completely different from others we’ve seen to date, see Figure 10. For installing 5 ¼” devices such as optical drives, you need to remove both side panels from the case, remove the front plastic cover from the bay you want to use, break the metallic cover found behind the plastic cover, open the two screwless mechanism present (one at each side of the bay), slide in your device and then lock the mechanisms back in place.

On Figure 11 you can see the three hard disk drive bays, which are rotated 90º in comparison with the other bays. You can’t remove or rotate these bays. Between the hard disk drive bays and the front panel there is space for you to install an additional 120-mm fan, which doesn’t come with the case.
