This case has nine external 5 ¼” bays and they don’t come with any screwless installation mechanism. On the default configuration the bottom six bays are used by two removable hard disk drive cages, so if you keep the default configuration you can only three 5 ¼” bays available.

Each hard disk drive cage holds three hard disk drives and comes with a 120-mm fan, as already explained. No screwless mechanism is used here as well. These cages are removable, meaning that you can remove them completely from the case (if you need more 5 ¼” bays) or you can change their position, for example moving one of the cages to the top part of the case.

This case comes also with two 3 ½”-to-5 ¼” adapters. So you can install floppy disk drives and memory card readers on this case. Notice, however, that this case comes with only one 3 ½” bay cover.

As you can see, Conqueror comes with many drive options, making it a very flexible product. If you use the two adaptors you can have up to eight hard disk drives and one 5 ¼” unit, which is more than enough for even the most hardcore user. On the other hand, if you need lots of 5 ¼” bays you can remove the cages and have eight 5 ¼” bays and one hard disk drive bay (using one adaptor). And, of course, there are lots of other possible configurations in-between.
