Review: This case is exactly what I was trying to find (for a drive sanitization system) - I bought this case as I needed a cheap way to sanitize drives. I own an MSP and we get hundreds of old servers hard drives each year to destroy. We offer shredding but many of our clients want a greener option that doesn't destroy the drive. We've done that on a one-off basis using a regular PC and some drive destruction software that offers certificates of destruction. We bought one of these instead of the eight bay Silverstone case. I would have probably gone with Silverstone except it requires a TFX power supply and I didn't find any that offered the correct number of Molex connectors required. This case accepts a regular ATX power supply which are ubiquitous and cheap. Build quality: This case has a very nice sturdy frame. The tolerances on the drive trays are tight so be prepared to work a little bit to get them back in the first time you pull them out. The trays themselves can be used tool-free as they have bumps on one side of the tray to hold a 3.5" drive in place. For long term use you should plan on using screws, but this deserves a mention for anyone using this case the way we are. The case accepts mATX or smaller motherboards and I happened to have an old one sitting around that I used in this. Backplane: The backplane is hot swap and does its job well. I used a LSI Broadcom SAS 9300-8i 8-port 12Gb/s SATA+SAS PCI-Express 3.0 Low Profile Host Bus Adapter and two 10Gtek Internal Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 to Mini SAS SFF-8087 cables to hook up eight of the drive bays. The motherboard I used had six SATA ports, four of which are hot swap so I was able to hook up the bottom four backplane slots using the cables that came with the case. Fans: The fans are loud and move a lot of air. This is not a big deal for us as it lives in our office workroom but if you are using this in your home it could be a concern. I tried using the system before I hooked the fans up and the drive bays got extremely hot. Once I connected the fans I was able to have 12 drives running without it overheating. Rails: They didn't fit my shallow rack so I didn't use them. Bottom line: I might buy another one of these to use a NAS down the road. To me this represents an extremely good value for a 12 bay server chassis.
Review: Great Server Case but LOUD!! - The case fits mini-ITX style boards. I purchased a NAS mini-ITX board for this case and it works great. The case itself comes with all the cables needed. It has a backplane so you simply need to connect three molex to the backplane for power and use the provided cabling to setup your SATA connections. Make sure your board has 12 SATA connections or use a low profile SATA card. If you get an SATA PCI card, make sure the SATA connectors mount horizontally off the card. Straight up will hit the case top. With the motherboard I am using, the SATA connectors on the end of the card are useless as well. One big complaint is the case fans are LOUD. It will be impossible to sit next to this case on your desktop without swapping out the fans for something quieter. This is my biggest gripe with the case. It has 4 80mm fans to move air through the case and it could be a bit quieter. I'm planning to replace them with 4 Noctua 80mm fans which should hopefully quiet things down. The case is deep so if you plan to rackmount it make sure the rackmount is at least 22 inches deep. The sliding rails seem useless for the rack that I'm using and there was no other mounting options which was disappointing.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Nice case, but for the price I would rather have gotten a used SuperMicro
*by T***. on June 21, 2024*

I'd been looking for a 2U 12-bay chassis for several months and came across this one. This format/size seems to be a bit rare so I thought this was a good find. More on that later... The case itself is pretty well-built. My rack doesn't have rear mounts so I can't make use of the rails. I had an easy time fitting in my mini-ITX board, HBA card, and 12 drives. I'm running TrueNAS SCALE and most things run great. I like the form factor, the finish, and the look. The main issues I have with this case are two-fold: The power button sticks out and is really easy to accidentally press if you are handling the server while it's on. I wish it were recessed or there was some sort of cover. I ended up taping a piece of cardboard around the left ear to make a shroud to make it harder to accidentally bump into the power button. The other issue is with the backplane. I don't think it's rated or designed for 12Gbps, although it does seem to function OK with my LSI 9305-16i HBA card. I'm using SFF-8643 to SFF-8087 cables to connect my HBA card to the backplane. In my Zpool I have a mix of Exos and HGST drives. The HGST drives all functioned fine, but the Exos drives have intermittent write errors. I first checked the firmware of the HBA card and my drives and made sure everything was up-to-date. I changed out the Gtek10+ cables for more expensive SuperMicro cables and no dice - I still received intermittent write errors. I ended up finding a forum post about how limiting link speeds on the HBA card to 6Gbps made the author's similar issue go away. I did the same, limiting and verifying that all the Exos drives were limited to 6Gbps and sure enough, I didn't get anymore write errors. Because I know the HBA card is good, the cables are top-quality (SuperMicro), and my drives are fine (no errors in my old system), then the only remaining link can be the backplane. I can't find any information online about it so I can only assume it is some generic or proprietary backplane made for this chassis. Due to this issue, I really wish I had just gone with a SuperMicro CSE-826BE1C4-R1K23LPB chassis instead. Anyone who knows anything would know that the chassis isn't going to give you any trouble, and you'd be able to use full 12Gbps speeds, not that it matters much unless you've got SSDs. So all-in-all, I'm not super bummed that I'm limited to 6Gbps, but at the same time I wish I'd with the SuperMicro instead. If this case were $100 cheaper I'd probably feel differently. Regardless, it still is pretty decent value, so three stars on that.
