Bitfenix Ghost Case Review

The Disk Drive Bays

The Bitfenix Ghost case has three 5.25” external bays, one 3.5” external bay, one 3.5”/2.5” external docking bay, four 3.5”/2.5” internal bays located inside the bottom hard drive cage, and three 2.5” internal bays, located inside the top hard drive cage. The installation of 5.25” and 3.5” devices (except for external 3.5” devices) can be done without the use of tools. Installation of 2.5” devices in the 2.5” bays can be done without the use of tools or screws, but installation of 2.5” devices inside 3.5”/2.5” bays requires the use of screws.

The top hard drive cage is removable, in case you want to install video cards longer than 12.6” (320 mm) or if you want to improve the airflow inside the case.

In Figure 18, you can see one of the 2.5” bays and one of the 3.5”/2.5” bays, which are actually small drawers. See how the 3.5”/2.5” bays have rubber rings to absorb noise and reduce vibration of 3.5” hard drives.
