SilverStone SST-CS330B Is a Mid-tower going back to basics

And with with three 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap bays equipped at standard, it's at the very least something different, compatible form factors are MicroATX and Mini-ITX.

This chassis was announced with three 3.5-inch SATA/SAS hot-swap bays on the front panel, and that is unusual. It was announced a while ago already actually and could be used for say a NAS or small server chassis.

The internal design specializing in storage capacity also is prepped for a 2.5/3.5 inch bay at the bottom. So the chassos can hold a total of 8 drives. In addition, the gimmick that the top plate of the motherboard tray can be attached and detached is designed for ease of installation. The design style that makes full use of the limited internal volume seems to be Silver Stone. The external dimensions are 210mm in width, 385mm in depth, 374mm in height, and 6.05kg in weight. The front panel is aluminum and the main material is steel. The cooling fan has a front 180mmx1 (Air Penetrator standard equipment) and a rear 120mmx1 (optional), and the radiator supports only the rear 120mm size.

it's not a real news, it was part of their pro catalog as NAS case...
Anyway it's a very good chasis.and for those with 3 x 5,25 the hot swap tray exist as stand alone too in different taste (3,5, 2,5 or a mix of them).
