Antec Two Hundred Case Review

The Disk Drive Bays

This case has three external 5.25” bays, one external 3.5” bay and six internal 3.5” bays for hard disk drives. This case does not provide any kind of screwless mechanism for the drives.

Figure 12: Drive bays.

The external 3.5” bay is not targeted to floppy disk drives but to 3.5” hard disk drives or solid state drives (SSD’s): it comes with hot swap connectors (see Figure 13). The cover for this external bay is in fact a door with a spring, which you can easily push down while installing a drive. When a drive is installed on this bay, around ½” (1 cm) of the front part of the drive is kept ou
tside the case. To remove the drive, you must first press a release button available on the front panel.
