While I would have liked to have seen a USB 3.0 20-pin connection on this case, at least we do still get USB 3.0 in the front I/O, even if it does take up one from the rear I/O to do so. There weren"t any real fit issues, but I must say these door panels are some of the tightest fitting panels I have seen in a while. It really took some force to remove the panel, and when re-installing it, I had to really force them back in place as well. The only real downside that I can speak of, and I better do it with the case off, is the noise level of these included fans. I thought the Touch 320 was a bit loud for my tastes, double the fans, and you can imagine things don"t get any quieter. While the fan speed is adjustable, on high speed, the noise is too much for me to personally like it. If I were to use this chassis the fans wouldn"t make it past low speed. Even then the ten included fans offer plenty of air at low speeds to sufficiently cool the interior and my components.
Piece of cake to install. No screws needed to install a the drive just open the latch and slide it in. A great way to access drives. In the future I will be only buying SATA drives so this gives me flexibility in backing data up and also removal if I want to cut down on the power being drawn and extra heat being generated. I like the fact that I do not have to buy trays for the drives and that it is a complete system. Just plug in a drive.
This bay has a very high quality look and feel and the trayless mechanism works like a charm. Also, having lockable bays is definitely an added bonus. Works as advertised: seem solid, the SATA contacts are firm, and the lockable doors help secure the hard disks in place.
