SilverStone Unveils RM600 and RM61-312 Rackmount Workstation Chassis
SilverStone Technology, a pioneer in innovative computer hardware solutions, unveils its latest groundbreaking addition to the 19-inch rackmount server chassis market—the RM600 and RM61-312. Designed to exceed conventional standards, the RM600 represents SilverStone's bold venture into the 6U height form factor, showcasing unparalleled cooling performance and versatility for demanding server applications. Additionally, it serves as the foundation upon which the RM61-312 is built.
SilverStone's venture into rackmount workstation chassis with liquid cooling radiator support has opened new horizons for server infrastructure design, setting a precedent for enhanced cooling efficiency and adaptability. The RM600 exemplifies this pioneering spirit. Boasting a 6U height and 19-inch rackmount form factor, it offers unparalleled flexibility by integrating not one, not two, but a total three sets of 360 mm radiator support into its comprehensive design.
At the core of the RM600 is a meticulously crafted design that prioritizes functionally, durability, and usability. It features a removable front panel with strategically placed perforations to optimize airflow without compromising performance. Front I/O ports, including 1x USB Type-C and 2x USB Type-A, are easily accessible upon panel removal.
Internally, the RM600 features a dual-chamber design. The top chamber, equivalent to a total of 4U height, can accommodate a wide range of motherboard form factors, including up to SSI-EEB, ensuring compatibility with diverse server-grade components. With 8 PCI expansion slots, the chassis supports multiple expansion card configurations of up to 340 mm in length. Additionally, fan/radiator mounts on all sides of the chassis, coupled with dedicated radiator installation points, offer exceptional thermal management capabilities.
The bottom chamber, utilizing the remaining 2U height, houses 3 storage drive cages and dual PSU support mounts. It features a full perforation panel, along with three 120 mm fan mounts, providing exceptional intake airflow to cool the bottom chamber components.
Distinguishing itself from the RM600, the RM61-312 incorporates 12 drive trays at the front of the chassis, occupying the bottom 2U height. These trays support both 2.5" SSDs and 3.5" HDDs, each capable of operating in 12G-SAS or 6G-SATA format. This functionality is achieved through an internal backplane connected to the back of the drive tray module, equipped with 12 Gb/s Mini-SAS HD SFF8643 connectors and SGPIO compatibility. The hot-swappable design of the drive trays ensures seamless maintenance and adaptability to changing storage requirements. Additionally, each drive tray includes a dedicated LED indicator that displays the operational status of individual drives.
Due to the demanding nature of industrial server applications, alongside the release of the RM600 and RM61-312, optional accessories will be available to upgrade and enhance the performance of internal components. These accessories are tailored to meet the dynamic needs of users, ensuring optimal functionality and reliability in even the most rigorous server environments.
In conclusion, the RM600 and RM61-312 represent a paradigm shift in server chassis design, offering unparalleled cooling performance, storage flexibility, and adaptability. SilverStone's commitment to innovation sets a new standard for excellence in the industry, providing users with a compelling solution for their server infrastructure needs.

Again, the RM600 and RM61 are not designed to be NAS cases (you can of course use them as such if you so choose), they are designed to house powerful server or workstation builds with dual CPUs and multiple GPUs so they are capable of fitting SSI-EEB / Extended-ATX motherboards, long graphics / compute cards, dual PSUs and multiple 360mm radiators, all of which the JMCD 12S4 cannot or was not designed to do.
Looking it up and the front is similar but it is not the same interior wise to the Silverstone case. It's clear they made modifications and a whole lot of thought for radiator cooling, dual PSUs and more. The depth is shorter too. The JMCD 12S4 is more so a regular typical chassis stacked on top of a NAS/DAS section. It's clear it was not meant for the same versatility as what Silverstone has come up with.

WOW, Silverstone commented right when I was. Thank you guys for coming out with such a sick case!
What is the max distance for a FAN/RAD combination on the motherboard side of the case? I am asking as if a large 12 x 13 motherboard is installed?
Thank you
