Cooler Master HAF 912 Case Review

The Disk Drive Bays

The Cooler Master HAF 912 comes with four external 5.25” bays, six internal 3.5” bays, and two internal 2.5” bays. Any of the 5.25” bays can be transformed into an external 3.5” bay using the provided adapter, while any of the internal 3.5” bays can be transformed into an additional 2.5” bay using an adapter.

Only the top-most 5.25” bay comes with a screwless retention mechanism, and this was done, again, to save costs. On the other hand, all 3.5” bays use screwless mechanisms based on rulers that need to be installed on the side of each drive. The 2.5” bays require the use of regular screws.

Four of the six internal 3.5” bays are available inside a removable cage. As explained in the previous page, this cage can be removed if you want to install longer video cards. If you remove the hard drive cage you still have two 3.5” and two 2.5” bays.
