NZXT Vulcan Case Review

The Disk Drive Bays

This case has two external 5.25” bays, two external 3.5” bays and two internal 3.5” bays, which are rotated 90° in comparison to the other bays, feature that helps a lot on the hard drive installation. The two external 3.5” bays support hard disk drives, so you can have up to four hard drives if you don’t install any external 3.5” device.

Hard disk drives are installed inside the hard disk drive cage using ruler-based screwless mechanisms. All you need to do is attach one ruler to each side of the drive and then slide the drive inside the bay. The top bays don’t have this feature, however NZXT added thumbscrews for installing optical drives, floppy disk drives, memory card readers and also hard disk drives (since they require screws with a thicker thread) on these bays.
