The Disk Drive Bays
Contents
This case has five external 5.25” bays and one 3.5” external bay, all using screwless mechanisms to hold disk drives. These mechanisms are based on rulers that must be attached to each side of the disk drive (no screw is necessary for this installation). The external 3.5” cannot be used by hard disk drives, because the screwless mechanism does not fit hard disk drives, only floppy disk drives and memory card readers, and the bay does not provide holes where you could use regular screws to attach the hard drive to it.

This case also has six removable drawers for installing hard disk drives (the manufacturer website says seven, but this information is not correct). No tool or screw is necessary to attach hard disk drives to this case. No anti-vibration mechanism is used.
