Bitfenix Prodigy Case Review

The Disk Drive Bays

The Bitfenix Prodigy has one external 5.25” bay, five internal 3.5”/2.5” bays in two cages, and five 2.5” bays. The 3.5”/2.5” bays have tool-less installation mechanisms with rubber rings to reduce vibration and noise for 3.5” devices.

Figure 14: Hard drive cages

The top hard drive cage has three 3.5”/2.5” bays, while the bottom one has two. Both cages are removable, and the top one must be removed if you need to install video cards longer than 7.5” (190 mm).

Besides the five 3.5”/2.5” bays, the Bitfenix Prodigy also has five separate 2.5” bays. Two of them are located on a plastic support available on the left panel (see Figure 17), two of them are available on the wall between the power supply compartment and the bottom hard drive cage (see Figure 18), and one of them is available under the bottom hard drive cage (see Figure 19).
