NZXT Phantom Case Review

The Disk Drive Bays

The NZXT Phantom comes with five external 5.25” bays and seven internal 3.5”/2.5” bays, all using screwless installation mechanisms. The hard drive bays are rotated 90°, which helps a lot with the hard drive installation. Each 3.5”/2.5” bay is actually a small drawer, and hard drives are fastened using four pins that are surrounded by a rubber noise suppressing mechanism. All 3.5” bays support the installation of 2.5” devices, but the installation of 2.5” devices must be done with regular screws.
