## Description

To fulfill and satisfy the needs of enthusiast looking for a compact and flexible NAS chassis packed with features that provide exceptional usability, SilverStone designed the CS382 with unprecedented level of space efficiency to accommodate as much drives as possible, in a sub-40L case. CS382 is designed to support Micro-ATX motherboard and ATX (PS2) power supply, while featuring 8 hot-swappable bays with a robust backplane to accommodate 8 x 3.5" or 2.5" drives in SAS-12G / SATA-6G format. These 8 hot-swappable bays are situated behind a front door with security lock to safeguard against unauthorized access, theft, and intrusion. Two included 92mm fans sit behind the hot-swappable bays to keep the drives operating at optimal temperatures. There are four expansion slots to allow for installation of high-end graphics card, network adapter, and RAID card. For CPU cooling, the CS382 has room to accommodate 240mm or 280mm radiator for nearly unlimited CPU choices. An additional 9.5mm slim ODD bay also sits alongside the 8 hot-swappable drive bays allowing for reading and writing of CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays', etc... The case also includes removable dust filters in key areas to facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance, ensuring long and dependable life for the assembled NAS system.

Review: Best compact NAS case out there - This case is definitely not what I'd consider a "small NAS case." It's somewhere between a compact NAS case and large tower. Check the dimensions carefully if you're planning on putting it on a shelf in closet or something like that. I have a Supermicro X12STL-F mATX motherboard with a Xeon E-2334 (80w TDP) and a Noctua NH-U9s heatsink in this case. CPU temps idle in the low 30C range and under about 50% load are in the high 30's/low 40's. Perfect, IMO. The fan for the bottom drive cage blows directly into where the PSU goes, which is a dead end, airflow-wise. Those bottom drives run about 4-5C hotter than the top cage does, but 100% drive usage temps are still really good for this type of case. I have 7200-rpm SATA drives and the top cage drives run mid-30s under load and top drives high 30's/low 40s. Again, really not bad. I had an Audheid K7 8-bay NAS case previously and the same drives would hit mid-50's under load, which really isn't great. Big improvement there. I have also swapped out the thin hard drive cage fans with Noctua NF-A9 92mm fans. You can see the fans are a tight fit, but they do fit. You will need to remove the two backplanes to access the fan screws. Inconvenient, but easily doable. Just need a long Philips screwdriver. I swapped out the rear 120mm fan for a Noctua Redux fan. System runs cool and quiet. Because of the very small interior space to work with, you do have to be creative with your cable routing, but the many backplate passthrough grommets make it pretty easy to do so. With a mATX motherboard, the first 2" or so of the board are covered by the drive cage when it's inserted. As such, you must remove the drive cage before installing the motherboard or you won't be able to reach the motherboard mounting holes in that area. You also won't be able to plug in any cables at the front of the board with the drive cage inserted. Building in this case isn't hard, just different. Especially if you're used to full size ATX cases or 4U server style cases. Take your time and things will go well. The front door is removable and you get better airflow with it off anyway. I already recycled mine. You also can't leave anything plugged into the front ports with the door closed, if that matters to you. This case can take a 120mm radiator up top, fits a full size CPU HSF, has an 8-bay HDD backplane, 5.25" bay, slim ODD bay and space for another 2 SSDs and another 3.5" HDD under the drive cage. It's pretty much the perfect NAS case. I am very happy I bought it.
Review: Perfect for my NAS build - worked well. - My objective was to take some old parts I had, and buy some additional compatible parts from ebay to build a NAS server running TrueNAS scale. This case is exactly what I was looking for to make it all happen. The build pictured features: P8Z77-M (matx and has 2 pcie x16 slots) 32GB of 1333mhz ram (zfs eats ram) intel i7 2600 lsi 9210-8i (set it to IT mode and let the OS handle the redundancy) P620 graphics card. (plenty of juice for transcoding in a small form factor) A few of the beQuiet! 120mm fans from desertcart. Six EXOS 12TB drives and two 1TB SSD's. (4 drive for live storage, 2 for replication/snapshots). Unrelated but I use a QNAP TR-004 in JBOD for my third backup and some cloud storage too for really important stuff. This is a case review right? But there's a hundred chassis out there for this purpose - but this one fit all my requirements perfectly and the above list of parts I wanted to use is why. Packaged really well so zero damage from shipping. The case was pretty easy to assemble, it did take some patience and time - cable routing required some thought and planning but honestly it went together pretty nicely. Take your time and plan things out, and be prepared to pull the cabling back out and try again. Anyone can smash some cables together but you want to maintain the airflow, reduce places that dust can build up, and keep it easy to maintain so In a year you aren't irritated at a hardware failure AND your lazy cabling job. It came with 2 fans on the drive bays and 1 in the rear of the chassis. The rear fan is pretty quiet, the two drive bay fans run at full speed and are loud out of the box. I haven't resolved that yet so it's behind me - not screaming like a server but it's not for a quiet home office. You'll want to plan to do something to quiet those down (using 4 pins on mobo or fan controller card). I reused a power supply that was too big and I regretted it. It worked but wasn't super fun. The rest of it went together pretty easy, follow the instruction booklet as the chassis does need disassembly in a certain order. One more thing to note. The enclosure requires 4 power connectors total. Backplane for the top 4 and the bottom 4 each require 1 molex and 1 sata power connector. Overall happy with the chassis, and how it came out. No regrets with this purchase. Update 01.08.24 I unplugged the fans from the drivebay, attached to motherboard and moved my motherboard fans to a separate fan controller. They went from 2300RPM to about 1000RPM but controlled by the motherboard which is normal white noise instead of a screaming fan at full speed. The 2 drivebay fans are intake and my two chassis fans are exhaust. Great case.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Disappointing from Silverstone
*by E***A on June 19, 2024*

Got this to replace a microatx cube case for my more-than-a-nas-but-less-than-a-homelab server, after getting tired of taking it apart to add or replace disks. So I've always thought of Silverstone as a brand you go to if you want good looks and serious quality, at a bit of a price premium, and this looked like the best option. Sadly, t·his definitely comes with the price but the quality leaves much to be desired. - The front facade is all plastic, including the main door, and all the drive sleds. It's not even a particularly good feeling plastic. -The drive sleds, being plastic, have a lot of flex and it's very easy to put them in a bit wrong. My case actually came with one of them misaligned and i had to exert more force than I'd like to get it out. -The sleds come with these semi-toolless rails that feel incredibly flimsy. A cheap coolermaster case I got 15 years ago had better drive mounting hardware. -The metal feels noticeably thinner than I'm used to in a PC case. it feels like there were some more corners cut here. -The front door only has a magnetic closure if it's unlocked, so it really likes to swing open while you're moving around. Best to lock up (and hopefully not lose the key) That said it's not completely horrible -No sharp edges on the metal. Most of the edges are folded over. -The design itself is nice and understated. No windows, no fancy gamer lights. -Good cable management options -Has a lot of drive bays in addition to the hotswap ones. It can take a full-size 5.25 bay at the very top, a couple drives underneath the hotswap bays, and even a bonus slim optical slot off to the side.
