Compact Storage Chassis
The SilverStone CS380B is a desktop server chassis built to hold eight hot-swappable 3.5 or 2.5 SAS/SATA drives in a compact mid-tower frame. It includes a built-in backplane, three 120mm fans with filtered intakes, two flexible 5.25 bays, and a lockable front door with a secured power button.
Home Lab and Small Office Users
This chassis suits builders who need dense, accessible storage in a desktop footprint. It is not for workloads that demand more than eight drive bays, nor for installations that must fit in a standard rackmount enclosure.
Eight Hot-Swap Drive Bays with Backplane
The defining specification is the eight-bay hot-swap backplane that accepts both 3.5 and 2.5 SAS/SATA drives. This single feature determines whether the CS380B matches a storage-centric build or whether a different form factor is required.

Questions about this item
How loud do the three 120mm fans run when the CS380B is under continuous load?
Three 120mm fans with filtered intake vents provide steady airflow; noise level varies with fan-speed settings and drive count.
Which motherboard and power supply do I need to install so the eight hot-swap bays and dual 5.25" bays function?
The chassis accepts standard ATX motherboards and ATX power supplies; the backplane connects to your SAS or SATA controller.
Will my existing 3.5" SAS drives fit the hot-swap trays alongside newer 2.5" SATA SSDs?
Yes, each tray accepts either a 3.5" or 2.5" SAS/SATA drive, so mixed generations work together.
