Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 Case Review
The Disk Drive Bays
Contents
The Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 comes with three external 5.25” bays, nine internal 3.5” bays that are accessed from outside the case, one external hot-swap bay for 2.5” devices like SSDs and laptop hard disk drives (already shown in Figures 8, 9 and 10), and one internal 2.5” bay.
Four of the nine internal 3.5” bays come with hot-swap connectors (the two top ones and the two bottom ones).

None of the bays come with screwless installation mechanisms, but the case comes with some silver thumbscrews. According to Antec, screwless mechanisms add noise to the case and that is why this feature was not added in this case.
