Looking to move some drives from my gaming rig to my server but it lacks hot swappable bays. I have seen a few nice cases but they dont check all the boxes. Anyone have a good recommendation based on…
- 12+ hot swappable drive bays
- Fit full size graphics cards
- ATX full size
- Rack mountable
- Includes rails is a plus but optional
I’m running my trusty old Antec 900 with three Rosewill hotswap bays to hold 12 3.5” drives.

I’ve got this laying on its side currently, and I need to replace the failed top exhaust fan, but I’m sure you could come up with a rack mount option to throw it in a rack. Probably about 4u tall on its side.
Good lord, I have TWO of those that used to be gaming rigs.
Just waiting till I can afford a low power motherboard so I can use all the drives I have sitting around.
At one time one of them had ten drives in it… Talk about heavy!
