Pros: Fits modern ATX PSUs, short depth, only 2U, front mounted USB3.

Cons: The hard drive cages do not fit modern hard drives with only two mounting holes on each side. For example WD Gold and many (all?) WD red. I was trying to use for a rack mounted media server/transcoder build. However, this is sort of useless when my 3.5" WD Gold drives can't be mounted. USB3 header cable is like twice as long as the case. A disaster to try to route as it is very inflexible and MUCH too long.

Overall Review: If you are planning to use 3.5 inch hard drives in this, ensure you have hard drives with 3 mounting holes on each side. If your drives only have 2, they will not work in this case!! Even if your 3.5" hard drives do mount, you will likely need very flexible SATA cables, especially if you're trying to fill all 4 drive mounts.
