That case is too small for my disk drives. They're more than 2 and a half inches. They do say though that someday they may consider making one for larger drives. Otherwise it's excellent. Come to think of it, with two gigabit ethernet ports, this could be my network front end even if it isn't the file server. And I'd have to find a power supply. It doesn't seem to be built in.
