Mid-Tower Server Chassis for E-ATX Builds

This black mid-tower server chassis supports E-ATX motherboards and is aimed at system integrators building rack-style servers or high-density workstations. It provides four external 5.25-inch bays, one external 3.5-inch bay and five internal 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drive bays. Front I/O includes two USB 3.0 ports for quick peripheral access.

E-ATX Motherboard Compatibility Decides Fit

The single specification that determines whether this chassis suits a build is its E-ATX motherboard support; larger SSI-EEB or proprietary server boards will not mount. Builders using standard ATX or micro-ATX boards can still install them, but the defining limit remains the maximum E-ATX form factor.

Five Internal Drive Bays with Room to Spare

Five internal 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch bays handle multi-terabyte storage arrays or mixed SSD and HDD configurations comfortably. The four 5.25-inch external bays add flexibility for optical drives or hot-swap cages, while the single 3.5-inch external bay suits legacy media. Storage expansion stops when all five internal slots and five external bays are populated.

Questions about this item

What does the five internal 3.5-inch bays mean when I am building a storage server?

The five internal bays accept 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives, so you can install up to five hard disks or SSDs without using the external bays.

What does the front USB 3.0 interface cap at in practice?

The two front USB 3.0 ports run at up to 5 Gbps, limited by the motherboard header and cable quality.

What clearance do I need for the middle two 120 mm fans?

The middle mounts take two 120 x 25 mm PWM fans, so allow 25 mm depth per fan plus any radiator thickness if you add liquid cooling.
