Product Description
For users migrating to small form factor (SFF) computers with large libraries of media files, storage capacity is often a compromise that is difficult to overcome. Choosing a smaller case may require additional purchase of external storage enclosure, while choosing a larger case with extra drive bays may defeat the purpose of going SFF in the first place. To fulfill the needs of enthusiasts looking for a no compromise SFF media box, Silverstone designed a cutting edge product, the DS380. With the ability to accommodate standard components such as Mini-ITX motherboards, standard-length dual slot expansion card, and entry-level liquid CPU cooling system, the DS380 can easily handle high end system based on CPU with 95W TDP or above. Equipped with two 120mm intake fans and one 120mm exhaust fan plus externally removable filters on its top and side, keeping everything cool and dust-free is as easy as in any Silverstone premium chassis. Notable features from Silverstone's famed HTPC cases were also included such as LED indicator with adjustable brightness and lockable front door and power button. Completing what is an impressive SFF case is DS380's signature feature, a modular eight hot-swappable drive cage design that support both 3.5" and 2.5" drives. It utilizes a custom back panel PCB designed to support both SATA and SAS interface for increased compatibly with nearly all modern hard drives or SSDs. At only 21 liters overall, the impressively small DS380 is perfect for anyone looking to build a powerful SFF NAS for home or office.

1) While it lists it can use larger CPU coolers it was way too cramped for my liking (with a Hyper 212 Evo)
2) Buy a pack of shorter SATA cables - I was able to cut down on of the clutter this way
3) The fans were a bit noisy that came with this. I replaced them with fans by Noctua. It made a drastic difference in the amount of noise the unit was producing.
The 8-drive capacity hot-swap bay chassis is well thought out, and surprisingly effective and easy to use. Adding and removing drives is quite smooth and stress-free -- the plastic rails that you attach to your drive slide in and out of the case without a hitch. Best of all, when I insert a drive into the chassis, it slides right into the SATA and power ports in the back of the hot-swap bay -- no jiggling or jostling required to get the connectors to seat.
Build quality and look & feel are adequate for a consumer-level device at this price. Having dealt with a variety of cases in the past, my expectations in this area were not too high, and this case did exceed my expectations in terms of build quality.
Yes, it is cramped inside, but that's totally expected. Buy a bigger case if you want more room inside. Personally, I love that this small case gives you easy access and hot-swappability for up to 8 drives. My cable management skills are low, and I will admit that I have an ugly ball of 8 too-long SATA cables clogging up the innards of my case. I went with a minimal build; I used a motherboard with a built-in CPU (SoC) that has a small heatsink over the CPU. I also have no expansion cards in my build. I could see things getting extra cramped if one wanted to use a motherboard with a separate CPU and fan assembly, or if you wanted to attach video cards or other expansion cards. In that case, consider whether the case will have enough room.
The only downsides I see so far are related to the built-in fans. None of the fans have any sort of guard on the inside to prevent stray cables from working their way into the fan blades. With how cramped and ugly my cable configuration is, I have a real concern that this may happen in my build. Separately, the two side fans have a protective grill on the outside of the case, but this grill is only attached by a few weak magnets. It's a neat idea, but if I try to pick up the case and my hand is on this grill, the magnets will fail and the grill will slip off the case.
The case is a little tight inside, but I would expect that considering how much is going into such a small space. As others have said, you have to loosen the front drive cage and slide it out the front if you ever need to get to the motherboard. It's not that big a deal, but it is more work than what you would normally need to do in a conventional case. Again, how often will I be doing this?? Hopefully not a lot!
Overall this is a really solid case and would probably be great for a HTPC as well. That said, it's not completely silent and you "know" it's there because you can hear the case fan. Not a lot, but enough to make me want to consider a fan upgrade if I was intending on using this as a HTPC that would be situated in hearing distance. My power supply on the other hand (ST45SF-G) is completely silent by the way.
One last feature that I thought was kind of nice is that "if you choose to do so," you can lock out the front on/off switch. You can set it so that you need a key to open the front door before you can power it off. I like this as I occasionally have little kids running around my house and that little button next to the blue light looks interesting for some reason.
Edit: 01/29/15
After using this case for a couple of months, I regret to say that I had to come back here and knock off a star. The reason being for poor ventilation on the drive cage. Let me explain:
I currently have 5 HGST 4TB NAS drives in the main drive bay, leaving 3 open. This unit is in my home in my basement where the ambient temperature is very cool. My motherboard is the ASRock C2750d4i with 32G ECC RAM, and I'm running FreeNAS 24x7, and I am the only user. 99.99% of the time, it is sitting idle. I'm not spinning the disks down, so they are spinning, but nothing is being accessed and the drive lights only flicker once in a while.
The good news is that my motherboard temperature sits comfortably at 34°C, and my CPU is at 30°C, using nothing but the fans that came with this case. The bad news is that while my system is idling, I can't keep 1 or 2 of my drives below 40°C. I'm looking at them right now, and 2 are at 41°C, and the others are fine at 31°C, 32°C and 35°C. I have tried repositioning the drives, and the problem always stays with where the drive is positioned within the case. I will also mention that with the cover off, the drives sit between 26°C and 28°C. My concern is what happens when I put my system under a real load, or if I ever decide to add a drive or two?
Looking at the design a little closer, when the drives are installed, the side fans appear to be blowing on the solid metal of the side of drive cage, rather than through the drives. The only side openings are from the 3 unused spaces in the cage, which isn't much. The back of the cage does not have any holes, so I am considering drilling some up and down the length of it. I think this would let the rear fan pull some of the heat out of the cage.
I have read that others have had some pretty drastic temperature reductions by pulling off the side mesh filter. I think that since I have this tucked away in my basement, I will look into other options such higher RPM fans (noisy) or seeing what happens with the holes I mentioned earlier.
Edit: 01/30/15
I drilled four 1/4" and five 1/8" holes up and down the back of the drive cage (next to the connectors) and my temps have dropped down by 6°C! They now sit comfortably between 29°C and 35°C. Hot air was definitely trapped in the cage. I would think getting higher RPM fans would help even more, but this is a good compromise between noise and performance.
Edit: 09/15/15
I found a before and after picture that I took of the cage with and without the holes. Someone requested it so I posted them. The holes are not perfect but they definitely help. In hindsight I probably should have made all of them the larger size holes. I was trying not to weaken the cage, but I honestly think it still would have been solid. I'll also mention that about once a month one of my drives reaches 40°C for a few minutes and then drops back down. (I think it's when my volume is being scrubbed, which beats on the drives for a couple of hours.) I don't think this is bad, especially since it's not sustained. I would still not go with more than 5 or 6 regular drives and possibly a few SSD's with this thing. That's about as far as you can comfortably take it. Unless you can afford 12 SSD's!
