FT02 Hard Drive Mounts

Post by Oubadah » Wed Dec 14, 2011 5:08 pm

FT02 owners, what do you think of the FT02 HDD mounts? Is it worth rigging up a suspension system in the optical bays, of is the stock setup quiet enough?

I like this case but I wish the HDDs were horizontal like the FT01.

This is coming a bit late but anyways..

The hd mounts are terrible and transfer every seek and vibration lound and clear. I'd suspend them, in fact there should be enough room to do it in place of those hot-swappable HD trays if you want to use the 5,25" slots for something else.

Logged in to confirm that yes, the FT02's HDD mounting system is far from quiet.

Yes, the hard-drive mounts are awful.
