Nexus Prominent 5 Case Review

The Disk Drive Bays

The Nexus Prominent 5 comes with five external 5.25” bays and five internal 3.5” bays, all featuring tool-less installation mechanisms. If you pay attention, screws are stored screwed on the 5.25” bays, which is a nice idea.

The top-most 5.25” bay comes with an adapter that can be use to install an external 3.5” device, an internal 3.5” device or an internal 2.5” device.

Each 3.5” bay is actually a drawer, which has rings to absorb the vibration (and, therefore, noise) generated by the hard drive.
