Dear 'the Internet '! Yep, I fluffed up about the mobo port block on the rear of the case! I was on auto pilot a bit and after reviewing a sea of compact m-itx cases that have lower/horizontal panels, mu brain just of "switched off"! So, yeah, gonna leave this here and not edit the vid... Pop my shame here to see! But I'll add this pin post here!

@praetorxyn 8 месяцев назад

That "extra bay" is where the motherboard's IO shield goes. This case seems like the ideal one for a DIY NAS as it has ATX support and hot swap bays, but I've heard the ventilation for the drives sucks so they run hot, and I've heard the backplane feels very cheap and fragile.

@nascompares 8 месяцев назад

Yep, re: extra bay. 100% F-up on my part. Was on auto pilot a bit and been handing those tiny m-itx cases too much of late! Wait till you see the U-NAS cases coming up in the next few days

@jagdtigger 8 месяцев назад

I wish manufacturers would still make big cases with lots of 5.25 bays. I currently use a aerocool rs9 and its tight as nuns nasty with 2 icydocks....

@Lucy-dk5cz 8 месяцев назад

Same, the reason I ended up with the case I did was because it has 3 5.25, a dying bay type :(

Appreciate you doing the reviews, especially the Jonsbo N2 and N3 comparison. Looking forward to seeing you take a look at the just released Silverstone CS382, it's also 8 bays but looks to be better designed a bit than the older CS380.

@keithweiland 8 месяцев назад

This is the case I have, the backplane failed after a relatively short time and I had to remove it and plug straight into the drives which was a pain due to the metal frame getting in the way which had to be cut away. The case is big but is not big enough to a full length graphics card for transcoding or passing through to a desktop VM.

@turkeyphant 8 месяцев назад

How many extra HDD can you fit apart from the 8 hot swaps?

@turkeyphant 8 месяцев назад

Would there be able way at all to fit 3x 5.25 in the top? I don't see why they only put two there.

@cloud86753 8 месяцев назад

I've recently brought this case and set up Unraid but one thing I didn't account for was the lack of bifurcation capabilities on LGA 1700 when looking at the Icy Dock options - NVME, U2 etc.. all require bifurcation. If you use a Highport card for NVME's directly on a PCIe slot, you can raid and present a JBOD or Raid 0. There will be raid cards with the correct SFF pinout to connect to I'm sure but being unable to bifurcate, this isn't fantastic with software defined storage options like Unraid/TrueNAS etc.. Interested how you plan to solve this. I'm looking at EPYC options for this exact reason due to the card PCIe Lanes and bifurcation capabilities. E.g. EPYC 7282, 7272, 7232P, not the newest but with 128 PCie 4.0 Lanes but the most appropriate motherboard is not cheap > ASRock ROMED8-2T/BCM

@Tofflus 8 месяцев назад

14:46 what additional slot at the top?

@astacc 8 месяцев назад

Personally I have Fractal Design R6 that can have up to 11 internal 3.5" HDDs, 4 2.5" SSDs and one 5.25" slot, dont have backplane for easy hotswap, but that should't be that much of an issue if you cable manage it correctly.. and as a big advantage it has 3 120mm fans right next to drives If you want other BIG case to look at, this or newer version R7 which should support even more HDDs would be perfect candidate.

hello i built my own NAS with this case. I must say it didn't disapoint : I used my old PC part I7 4770K with 16 Go Asus Z87 Deluxe with 10 SATA port (the positioning of the Port are a little problematic but i am going to add a PCIE SATA card to manage my cable better.) i added also a 2.5G pcie card. It works like a charm and the temperature are below 50°C so everyting is fine. ho yeah i put 5x18 To HDD in Raid 5

@isrnick 8 месяцев назад

Great! The CS 380 review is finally here! But its design is quite old now, as can be seen by its lacking ventilation, and absence of dedicated mounting places for SATA SSDs. Its successor, the new CS 382 seems to have improved ventilation significantly, it also has 2 dedicated SATA SSD mounting places, the external drive bays even have LED indicators, but it only has one 5.25" optical drive bay, which would decrease the amount of expansion caddies you could install, if that's the route you want to go. But I can't find it for sale anywhere, and I imagine it is quite expensive too.

@aledantas2k10 8 месяцев назад

CS 382 doesn't support ATX motherboard :(

@isrnick 8 месяцев назад

@@aledantas2k10 Yes, that is a disadvantage. But that also means that the CS 382 is quite a bit smaller.

@nadtz 8 месяцев назад

For the same price Silverstone's 382 or the fractal define 7/7 xl are better chassis depending on what motherboard is being used. The define 5 loses the 5.25's but is also $100 cheaper.

@blakeparry1983 8 месяцев назад

Keen to see the build I may have considered this vs the Antec P101S that i built in instead This has a backplane for drives which is nice, and an additional 5.25" slot but the Antec had 2x2.5" mounts behind the mobo which is more useful to me. P101S is obviously very quiet but cooling is good for the drives in my usage case, and 1/2 the price of the Silverstone Might be another case worth you reviewing!

@m0rthaus 7 месяцев назад

The ANTEC P101 S is looking ideal to me. It's similar in size and design to the Fractal Define 5/6 except it has more space between the HDD drive mounts and 3 fans blowing straight onto the HDD drive assembly for great cooling. I'm not impressed with how many cases build their HDD slots with maybe 2mm clearance between drives - recipe for poor airflow and heat issues.

@InspectorGadget2014 8 месяцев назад

Sorry but that "bay" at the back is ment for the MB's multi-IO backplane, where you connect your keyboard, mouse, audio etc. (and need to insert that aluminium shield with the cut-out of the various ports of your chosen MB, which is included with your MB). I do wonder about the drive-LED's you mention as the documentation does not seem to mention as such other than the few (2x) LED's (Power & 1x HD) on the side, as clearly visible... Unless you were referring to the LED's on the HD themselves, which I believe, but could be wrong, are more & more omitted from HD's nowadays? Anyways, it is a nice chassis for a DYI, but they aren't the only ones, so I like to mention Corsair Obsidian too. There is one major issue I've noticed with these types of chassis, the plastic tends to turn brittle after many years. So I turned to SuperMicro, way more expensive but on the good-as-new/second hand market, quite affordable and durable. Next to repurposing older (Dell/HP/IBM etc) server-platforms...

@nascompares 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, massive brain fart there with the mobo port cavity. Been mucking around with horizontal tiny cases too long now and my brain just fluffed! Embarrassing!

@knghtbrd 5 месяцев назад

Why the 2-1-5 arrangement? Think about a classic Windows XP era case. One with two 5.25 bays, two 3.5 bays (one for your floppy, one for your zip drive), and a HD or two hanging below that. Then add a 5 bay thing below that which might be used in other products. The big bulge on the right side reflects the manufacturer using old tooling but realizing that people expect lots of room behind the motherboard for cable management. They just made a blown out side panel to have the feature, but keep as much tooling as possible unmodified. The big advantage of this case is if you're recycling an older enthusiast motherboard to NAS duties, it's probably ATX. There just aren't many affordable ATX NAS cases on the market because … why the hell would you use an ATX case for an 8 bay NAS? Because you're trying to save money. Or because you want a video card that can do modern video encoding and you also want a good controller card. If there's an even more DIY case-modding solution that's any good, I'm kind of looking for it. I've got a Phanteks Enthoo Pro that might be well-suited to the task with two big intake fans. Might be a good idea to remove those and install some hotswap bays with fans behind that. It'll probably become louder than what I have now, but what I have now is only capable of storing 5 drives, none of which can be really hotswapped.

@gilbertlynds3930 6 месяцев назад

I had one of first of these few years back. Loved the case but drives overheated badly. Did some mods but was limited and it helped alittle but still ran too hot so scrapped it and bought a Synology nas instead

@gilbertlynds3930 6 месяцев назад

add just checked with my original CS380 and this looks around 3rd larger. mine never had the 5 1/4 drive bays so wasnt as high and was also shorter. This looks like will run a bit cooler

@nascompares 6 месяцев назад

Tbh I 100% agree, but the newer CS382 addresses ALOT of these heating issues and definitely recommend giving it a look

@bits2646 8 месяцев назад

Probably most of 2000-2010 cases could be "DIY NAS" cases, anyone still remembers when we used 3.5 HDDs? :) However, I'd get some of those fully 5.25 front and use different docks that suit my need, in general docks use much better trays purely because of margins they have, also those plastic trays in this case are just horrific

@jacobp7289 8 месяцев назад

Very practical design, but it looks really cheap and something one would hide away. I got the Antec P101 which looks much better and also have 8 HDD bays + 5,25. And in addition its noise dampened by some isolation pads on the inside.

@roblewis6498 4 месяца назад

Did you ever do the build with this case?

@nascompares 4 месяца назад

Hi Rob. It's currently sitting at 60% filmed (got the icydock caddies and ATX build done), but the RAID cards to handle all the bandwidth has been a bit of a nightmare behind the scenes. Currently waiting on Card #3 from highpoint to arrive, as cards 1 and 2 have been a dead loss/throttled pain. Even if this final $1K card isn't a success, I will go ahead and finish the vid regardless, as it's worth sharing the challenges. Bottom line, in a build like the one being described (old or new gen Silverstone case), it's the RAID card that is carrying EVERYTHING here. We have the bandwidth on the mobo, CPU and PCIe...but the card needs to be top tier for m.2 NVMe on this scale.

Somebody has apparently never built a PC, so has no idea how all the connections from the back of the motherboard exit the case the an I/O shield that fits into a standard rectangular hole that he keeps raving about as an additional storage bay on the rear of the case. It is common to every PC motherboard and case I've ever had, built, or had to provide support for, which covers everything from 80286s up to modern (and not so modern) multiprocessor Xeon and i9 systems, so there is no room for excuses. This guy is clueless. Unsubbing, because I hoped to learn here, but it now seems this guy knows far less than I do.
