SilverStone Raven RV01 Case Review

The Disk Drive Bays

This case has five external 5 ¼” bays and six internal 3 ½” bays for hard disk drives, using the same mechanisms available on other SilverStone products, especially Fortress FT01. The screwless mechanisms for 5 ¼” devices use a big black button that works exceptionally well. The hard disk drives are installed using individual drawers. The hard disks enter very tight inside the drawers, so screws are optional. Each drawer has four rubber shock absorbers where the screws can be installed in order to reduce the noise produced by the hard disk drives due to their natural vibration. No external 3 ½” bay or adaptor is available.

Like several other cases from SilverStone, the first hard disk drive bay features a hot-swap connector, allowing you to install a hard disk drive without needing to attach cables to it. If you want the other bays to have this connector you will need to buy them from SilverStone (they are called CP05).
