Wait, so according to the pictures this thing comes with four SSD trays? Fitting three drives each? Where do they all go? And who on earth has that many 2.5" drives in a single system?

Watch the review on hardwarecanucks, those 2.5"/3.5" trays fit behind the motherboard tray. Someone like Linus has more than 4 SSDs in RAID. Its just a provision made by TT and you can use those according to your personal setup.

"Someone like Linus", as in Linus Sebastian of LTT? The richest/most sponsored person in tech? Yeah, I doubt there's enough people like that out there to warrant the inclusion of 12 SSD positions. Not that there's a lack of people with tons of cash to burn on PCs, but from my experience on various forums, the amount of people with >4 SSDs is tiny. Not to mention that there's a quite significant difference between ">4" and 12.

I prefer the opposite approach, frankly: make it possible to install more caddies if wanted, but don't bundle something that 99.9% of users will never ever have any use for. That just generates waste or makes the case more cluttered than what's necessary. Include one or two (still massively overkill for the vast majority of users), and sell more separately for $5 or something - packaging would be trivial, distribution networks are already there, warranty and service would be a non-issue for a part like this - and the amount of complaints would be trivial.

Well, some people have still their cases full of HDDs.. I have four 2.5" SSDs and a NVMe drive as an OS drive.

So, in other words, you'd populate 1 1/3 tray out of 4 in this case. If two were included, you'd still need to buy two more SSDs to run out of space. And sure, some people still have their cases full of HDDs - but those aren't 2.5" HDDs, and as such wouldn't fit these trays in the first place.

What I mean is that if those people would upgrade those HDDs to SSDs, this case would have space for those.

You may want to change the title to mid towrr case...

 

[Valantar]

Sure. Still, unless these people either don't have expanding storage needs (which would be strange - doesn't everyone?), or suddenly win the lottery, that seems like it'd be a multi-year process at best. People who fill their cases with HDDs do so for the storage space, and ... well, let's say you have three aging 2TB HDDs in a RAID 5 setup. You could replace those with two RAID 1 SATA SSDs and still gain performance, so let's say you do that. Or, to avoid the premium for >1TB SSDs, go for four 1TB SSDs in RAID 10. Picking the cheapest 1TB-class SATA SSDs off Newegg (currently the Team Group L5 Lite), that's still $880 worth of SSDs. For that money, you could instead upgrade your existing RAID 5 with 8TB drives and still have almost $300 left over. The more drives or higher capacity drives you have, the bigger the difference gets. Either way, while I get that some people would appreciate the opportunity to install 12 SSDs, I seriously doubt more than a handful of people in the world would want that and simultaneously be in the market for a case like this. Of course, there might be a subculture of millionaire data hoarders that I'm unaware of, but then I'd argue that those people can afford to splurge on a couple of extra brackets, and TT would avoid shipping hundreds or thousands of unnecessary brackets that end up in landfills. To me, that's a more reasonable approach.

Man, Thermaltake has gone from 2000s ugly bling masters to designing tasteful and well-thought-out chassis in 2018. This one is quite a stunner, although I question the "gull wing" design that precludes mounting a top radiator or fans. Well, I'm sure reviews will tell us whether or not that's a downside.

Each tray can mount 2x 2.5" or 1x 3.5" drive: http://www.thermaltake.com/db/products/case/View37Riing/pic8.gif

So those three-windowed brackets only fit two drives each? Ah, I see. I suppose I ought to have checked, I just assumed they followed the sorta-standard design convention of "1 opening per drive" that most brackets like that have. I suppose that makes the design a tad more sensible (especially as it makes the brackets a lot smaller!) - three HDDs and two SSDs (for example) sure makes more sense than 12 2.5" SSDs

Just because a manufacturer has made provisions doesnt mean you have to populate all the available feature. Do watch hardwarecanuks review it help you get a clear idea of HDD cages.

Nice but the cutout at the top will compromise the rigidity of the case. So it should flex like a mother F@#ker. Also there is no ventilation at the top. Its all looks and no substance.

Is it a race car? Why does the chassis have to be rigid? Are you going to sit on it?

Remember that those brackets are able to mount 3.5" drives, and the only way to attach drives to them is via the drive bottom, and 3.5" drive bottom screw holes are kinda 1/3 down each end of the drive, so from that viewpoint it makes total sense.

Here's a kinda-sorta review of the RGB model:

Sadly the guy doesn't do any rigorous testing, but I do think that his claim that the front airflow will be restricted is likely. I do wonder how things would work if the fans are mounted on the right side panel (the radiator mounting) which is much less restrictive. Personally if I got this case, I wouldn't even bother with fans on the front, I'd just do a push/pull rad on the side.

Oh, and the "gull wing" acrylic is cheap and nasty, as expected. IMO they should've done 2 versions of this case, one with a standard metal panel with fan mounting options for the gull wing, and another more expensive one using tempered glass.
