Sigma Unicorn Case Review

The Disk Drive Bays

This case has four 5.25” bays, two external 3.5” bays and five internal 3.5” bays, with four of them located inside a removable hard disk drive cage, see Figure 14. All bays from this case use screwless installation mechanisms that really don’t require screws, except if you wish to install hard disk drives on the two external 3.5” bays. As you can see in Figure 14 they use a different mechanism that isn’t compatible with hard disk drives. If you want to install hard disk drives there you will need to remove the plastic mechanisms and use regular screws. The maximum number of hard disk drives you can have with this case is six or seven, if you don’t have a floppy disk drive.

The hard disk drive cage can be removed by removing a thumbscrew and pulling a lever. To remove it you first need to slide it to a 45° angle – which may help you to install hard disk drives without needing to remove the cage from the case.
