Thermaltake Armor A30 Case Review

The Disk Drive Bays

This case has two 5.25” external bays, one 3.5” external bay, two 3.5” internal bays, and two 2.5” internal bays.

As already explained, with the top panel removed you will see a metallic bracket located at the front end of the case that hosts the external drive bays and the two internal 2.5&
rdquo; bays, which use a tool-less installation mechanism – this is the first time we’ve seen 2.5” bays using tool-less installation mechanisms.

Removing this bracket for the drive bays, which is fastened to the case using two black thumbscrews, you have access to the hard drive cage, which has two bays for 3.5” hard drives.

The hard drive cage is removable, and although you need to use regular screws to install hard drives, the cage features rubber rings to reduce the vibration and, thus, noise produced by the hard drive.
