Pros: Large capacity in a small package.

Cons: 15mm height means limited application

Overall Review: I purchased two of these drives to install in two free 2.5” bays in my NAS. They’ve been great! I have the two drives in RAID1 in the event one fails I (hopefully) don’t loose my data. These have been in use for 90+ days with zero issues.

Pros: This case is a good value for the money. It is a well built unit with some slick features. Plenty of room in the motherboard compartment for full sized ATX motherboard. I mounted a mATX board and it looks like a mini ITX inside this case. There's a wall of high flow fans that separate the front drive bays from the rear motherboard / power supply area. There's also a space to mount a 120mm fan to pull air out of the rear. A plastic shroud funnels air over the CPU to ensure proper CPU cooling. All in all some very good American engineering went into the design of this case.

Cons: Now the reason I took a couple of eggs away. The fit and finish is equivalent to a 1985 Oldsmobile... The fan wall is slightly too tall and prevents the side cover to sit flat so it can slide lock back in place. I had to execute a little redneck engineering and use a flat head screwdriver to slightly pry out all 8 tabs to allow the side cover to lock. Also I would have preferred the power supply to be left out. The 665w unit Supermicro included with the case is NOT modular and includes a huge was of PCIe power connections for high end graphics cards. Since this is a server case these are only in the way.

Overall Review: All in all I do recommend this case. Even though it seems like Supermicro does everything (for a lack of a better word) half assed, they are the closest thing to an American computer components manufacture that we have. This case is stamped with "Assembled in America". It totally shows in both good and bad ways.

Pros: Manufactured by SeaSonic! Clean power! ATX to SFX adapter included!

Cons: None!!!!

Overall Review: I love building small form factor PC’s. I’m only using these power supplies from now on!

Pros: Latest gen Intel CPU, boots fairly quickly

Cons: Cannot use M.2 drives for anything other than cache, 2GB of RAM soldered onto motherboard, UI not as easy to navigate as previous Synology units I’ve owned.

Overall Review: I purchased this box because it has the latest generation Intel CPU and M.2 slots. I wanted to use one M.2 for the OS and the other for transcoder cache for video transcoding in Plex. Unfortunately, Synology doesn’t allow the M.2 drives for anything except I/O cache to the storage drives. I’m also very annoyed that Synology soldered the 2GB of RAM onto the motherboard. Making dual channel DDR impossible. I did my best to match the Samsung RAM chips by installing a 2GB Samsung DDR4 2400 stick in the single SO DIMM slot. I’ve owned Synology and QNAP NAS boxes in the past and I guess I’m just used to QNAP allowing you to configure all the drives (M.2 and SATA) for use however you wish. Synology could fix this with a BIOS update but I doubt they will.

Pros: Well made! Efficient use of internal space! Small footprint.

Cons: A bit tight inside with ATX sized power supply.

Overall Review: I first bought a 550 watt Seasonic ATX power supply for this case. It fit but really made the space tight behind the drive cages and left a minimum amount of air space over the motherboard. I opted to change out the full sized power supply for a SFX sized Corsair SF 450 (made by Seasonic according to the UL registration number) and a ATX to SFX adapter plate. It made all the difference in the world in both available space and system temperatures. I would really love it if Newegg would carry the 12 bay model of this case (S-9112). I contacted iStarUSA to buy one but they said a minimum order of 50 is required. So please Newegg, order some!

Pros: Great price, decent quality

Cons: No documentation, the company NORCO has appeared to disappear from existence, VERY cheap fans, no cable to use the proprietary RPM / PWM header attached to the fan wall.

Overall Review: This is the latest revision of this case. As previously stated by another review, the 120mm fan wall is more included and USB 3.0 on the front panel as well. I didn’t have any issues with sharp edges and all the electronics worked as they should.
