Pros: RAID, JBOD, USB3.0, and eSATA.

Cons: 80mm cooling fan noise and questionable speeds over USB/eSATA.

Other Thoughts: I love it. It looks great and does exactly what I needed it to do although I rarely average more than 45-75MB/sec over any of the included channels. However, from time to time, I get this "bearing" type noise from the cooling fan. It doesn't matter how fast it's running (slow or full)... The noise varies but is always there. A soft tap will usually stop it, but who wants to do that with a box containing HDD's that have numbers files that you are trying to back up? Fix the fan people! I would hate if this fan fails allowing my drives to die early!

Pros: Modular Setup, Removable motherboard tray, limited water cooling support, extended graphics card support, attractive case design, SFF (great for matx/itx setups)...

Cons: Costs more on other sites, limited air cooling support due to power supply height restrictions, included fans are slow and use molex connectors only/ not 3 pin, NO CABLE management to think of so get a fully modular PS!!! See other thoughts. Might seem like a lot but I knew this when going in!

Other Thoughts: First!!! If you use a matx board, make sure that the PCI-X16 slot is the FIRST slot on the board!!! Some boards offer a PCI-x4 as the first slot. If you use a dual slot card and it's in the second slot, you will hit the 3.5 tray inside the case. If you use the water cooling bracket (optional), the fixed 3.5 tray is automatically removed so interference becomes a non-issue. Second!!! If you use the included water cooling bracket for a closed loop CPU water cooler like the H60, you lose the ability to install anything in the 2 5.25 bays (think DVD/BluRay Drives). Overall, this case is nothing more than an updated Lanbox Lite which I welcome considering the updates. Case stays cool when seal up - I have not seen any temps above 55C for my cpu and 65-75C for my graphics card!!!
