Hi all

As per thread title really - I am after a case where I can easily remove & swap the hard drives. I have seen the corsair case with the drives accessible from the front but it is quite a lot bigger than i would like. I need something a bit more compact perhaps to medium tower size as a maximum.

Any ideas or recommendations?

Thanks
 
Hi,
Have you considered the Icy Dock Hot swap Backplane?

I have one fitted in my Antec P180 Mini which allows hot swapping from the front. It slots into 2x5.25" bays and allows 3 HDD to be fitted.

Just make sure your case can accommodate it.

I have been looking at the Zalman GS1000-SE which comes with three hot swappable sata drives. Looks very good for the money
