Nice rubberized grommet holes for cable routing. We see two HDD trays and three SSD storage trays. As you can easily spot from the photo, there is just 'okay' clearance on the backside to route all cabling, in between panel and mobo tray almost 2 cm.

Overall I would have liked to have had a little more clearance here, for the PSU there's not much space to tuck away cables, and with the 1.5~2cm clearance at the backside, you'll quickly run out of space to hide your cables. A modular PSU where you use only the cables you really need as such is highly recommended.

First off, there is no space for optical / 5.25" devices. The only solution for using one is to buy an external USB DVD or something. You can, however, mount two HDDs (3.5") and very handy are easy to use SSD trays. Slide in the SSD and it will secure itself.

Mounting an HDD could not be easier, the drive bay bracket has been updated from the previous models. It has rubber inserts to prevent resonating noises from the HDD. They, however, pop out really easy and feel a little cheap, to be honest. Lock them in and slide the unit into the drive bay until you hear a click. It's a very simple solution really, but there's nothing wrong with simple as long as it's functional and effective. And it certainly works just fine. You can house a two 3.5" drives.

Three tool-free 2.5” SSD mounts: Easily add or remove 2.5” drives. It's a cheap plastic clip really, but a properly working one, so I like it.

The PSU ventilation mesh and dust filter are removable and thus easy to clean out. And zooming in at the bottom here a little, we see that the chassis rests on rubber mounts, this prevents resonating noises coming from the PC, and makes your chassis more silent.
