DARKROCKClassico Storage Master ATX NAS Computer Case Mid Tower with 4x120mm Fans, USB 3.0 Ready 10 x3.5'' HDD+3 x2.5'' SDD 360mm Supported on Top & Front Radiator GPU Vertically Mounting Black

This thing has some space!I obtained several purple drives to use for my Blue Iris NVR and ran out of space in the case I was using. I ordered this one due to published drive capacity. I was surprised it does not hold 10 HDD as pictured! It has the 8 on the front in the cages, 2 in the bottom by the PSU. AND... two in the bottom under the MB/other drive cages. As well as 2 SSD on the back side of the mother board.Cable management can be a challenge as others have stated I opted to turn the drives around to give me more space. It is a pain with all of the screws mounting everything. Being all mounted like they are all drives are secure and won't move around a lot.If you are looking for something that will hold 10+ HDD and 2 SSD this is the case for you.

Man do I love this case. As for a case in which you want to create a sever or a nice gaming gaming case, it’s pretty good. I love the mesh style and the fact you can add 120mm fans or 240mm fans. The case is pretty versatile. Cable management is pretty easy and awesome. The customer service is A1. I accidentally dropped my case breaking the front panel, and replacement with dark rock was a breeze. Great company, great case, highly recommended!

While this case boasts of being able to hold a large amount of 3.5" drives, I find the mounting cages make it nearly impossible without having to put a large amount of strain on the SATA cables. You need a healthy mix of 90deg and straight plugs in order to use as many of the available spaces as you can. You can not use a 90deg SATA cable on any drive in the lower positions in any of the cages because of the lip that goes around it. The drive cage on the lowest level is pretty useless except to have a place to coil up all your cable slack. The fit is really tight.The cable routing is beyond lackluster in this case as well. The functionality of the cable management holes is not great because they aren't exactly in user friendly places. The drive cage covers one of them. Routing the front panel USB cable put such a strain on my mobo that it nearly broke the plug. The cable was far too stiff to route any other way than the way I finally managed to get it to go.Other than those flaws, this isn't really a bad case if you want good airflow and space to store a bunch of drives. It looks great put together, and other than fighting cables and plugs it was pretty easy to assemble for the most part.

When I first got it the other day I was blown away by all the places to put a drive. 13 I mean really -WOW! Its made very sturdy. The only thing I had a problem with was the fact that all the fans that it comes with are 3 pin and not 4 pin? My motherboard only allows for 4 pin so I had to replace the ones in there with 4 pin. You have to take out the hard drive cages to install the fans and then re-install the hard drive cages. No, big deal? This is gonna be some kind of rig when I get it finished. I'll put 6 hard drives in cause that's all my motherboard will handle other than a Sata expansion card.

This is clear in the description but I'll repeat it: this case doesn't hold five inch drives, so if you have an optical drive that means you'll have to get some kind of external case for it or replace it with an external drive. I don't know why a case wouldn't hold an optical drive since optical media still exists.Everything in the case is flimsy metal. The complaints about the drive cages are true. They're thin and easily bent. These cages holding your two heavy hard drives are simply hanging from four screws onto vertical rails. Aligning the cage screws is a pain since there is no physical guide for the cage to fit into -- you have to move them around until they're correct. I found that I even had to press the cage against the rail for the screws to reach the cage -- apparently something was bent. When you remove the four screws, the cage simply falls out since nothing else is supporting it. You need one hand on one side of the case to remove the screws and another hand on the other side to catch the cage when it comes out!Also the cages aren't flush with the back of the drives. This meant that my right angle SATA cables wouldn't work with the bottom drive in the drive cages because the connector wouldn't reach the drive. Fortunately the supplied right angle SATA cables do work.The USB3 cable only gives you one of the two USB ports. Would it have been hard to put two USB3 ports on the case since there are two USB2 ports? The power and reset buttons on the top are easy to press accidentally, especially when you're trying to remove a drive cage.I agree with the complaints about the flimsy doors. Plan an extra minute of fiddling to get them closed. It doesn't feel good when you close the door pressing the SATA and drive power cables against it but that's what you have to do to get it closed.With all these annoyances the case does work as advertised. There are no step-by-step instructions but the sheets do explain where each shape of screw goes (they're all one bag). There are no suggestions on cable routing so you'll have to figure that out yourself. As you would expect the four 120mm fans and the open grill top provide excellent ventilation and the fans are extremely quiet.

Starting last year I began a journey of building a home NAS. Started as a mini pc, moved to a small tower and realized I needed to just go big for what I wanted.For $90 USD this case is simply amazing. Insane storage options, you can find+print brackets for converting the 3.5 drive bays to 2.5 drive bays.The only thing that might be an issue for some people is GPU compatability if you're using all the interior drive bays. My 7900XT does not fit with all the drive bays populated, however my 4070 and b580 fit without issue.

This is has a lot of room for storage, which is why I bought it. Love that there is plenty of room for cable management. The airflow is decent with the optional space for fans or water cool blocks. Easy to install a system into.
