SilverStone SETA H2

[Darksaber]

The SETA H2 may look like a larger variant of the SETA H2M on the ouside, but its interior has as little in common as its exterior does to the H1. Offering a whopping 15 storage bays, good cooling potential and eight expansion slots, the SETA H2 is hyper-focused as the go-to chassis for storage servers or AI workstations.

Nice case. 15 storage bays is way too much for me, but H2M "only" holds 3x3.5" drives. What would be the suggested alternative for something in-between? Say, 5-6 hard drives with decent airflow for everything else?

A NAS.

"Barely visible power LED" this should not be a problem, I have to put tape on all the power leds nowadays cause they are way too bright.

There was a time I was a full blown media hoarder, with a ton of CD/DVD which slowly evolved to ripping/burning to storage (in preps for the apocalypse). Wasn't much, but with around 4TB utilised across various HDD units, I kinda gave up. Had i continued, this case might of been right up my alley.

Now... how many times have you heard “there’s never enough backups”? Well, put your seatbelts on, the backup nutcases are gonna lose it over this 15-bay beast. For some this ain't no case, its a bloody redundancy shrine worthy of worship.

No fans included is something positive. Those case fans in my point of view are most often just e-waste

Why couldn't a case like that with drive bay count being front and center on marketing feature SATA/SAS backplane or hotswap connector(s)? If not included then at least compatible with something - Silverstone does NAS cases and has a bunch of weird things like CP05.

We did make a version of this case with backplane and hot-swap bays in the form of our CS383, check it out if you haven't seen it!

Oh, now that you said it I can totally see the same base/DNA in the two cases. Awesome!
