NZXT H2 Case Review

The Disk Drive Bays

The NZXT H2 has three 5.25” external bays and eight (yes, eight) internal 3.5”/2.5” bays. Since we also have the external 3.5” bay on the top panel, we can have up to nine hard drives or SSD units installed!

All bays feature tool-less installation mechanisms, but 2.5” devices must be installed using regular screws. Each 3.5”/2.5” bay is a small drawer, featuring anti-vibration rings. You can add a thumbscrew to each drawer if you want to make sure that it won’t move during transportation. Thumbscrews are available installed along the hard drive cage, which is a very nice way to store screws.
