The Disk Drive Bays
Contents
The Enermax SpineRex has 11 5.25” external bays and two hard drive cages with four 3.5” bays each, and each hard drive cage takes up three 5.25” bays. Therefore, on its factory configuration the SpineRex has five 5.25” external and eight internal 3.5” bays. Since each hard drive cage is removable, you can change this configuration, though. For example, you can move the hard drive cages to the top or remove one of them in order to get three additional 5.25” bays or to allow the installation of longer video cards.

The SpineRex doesn’t support 2.5” devices. This is a major problem, since full-tower cases are targeted to high-end users who have an SSD unit or will eventually add one to their systems.
