Cougar MX300 Case Review

The Disk Drive Bays

The Cougar MX300 has three internal 5.25″ bays, but only two of them are exposed and can be used for installing devices. There are also three internal 3.5” bays (that can also fit 2.5” devices), and three internal 2.5” bays, all of them with plastic drawers. The 5.25” and 3.5” bays have locking mechanisms that allow you to install devices without the use of screws or tools.

Along with the accessories that come with the case, there is an adapter that transforms a 5.25” bay into an external 3.5” bay, nowadays used by internal card readers and small fan controllers.
