Not only the cooling department got a complete overhaul, the storage design is quite exceptional too. In the standard configuration up to four SSD's or 2.5inch drives can be stored in the top cage. The bottom cage houses up to three 3.5 inch standard sized HDDs.

By removing three screws, the top cage can be widened to accompany instead off the four SSD's up to four normal sized HDD's. The utilized Hard drive trays are custom sizeable too, meaning one tray fits all sizes. HDDs are sandwiched, while SSD's or 2.5inch drives need to be fixed via screws.

We have seen many motherboard manufacturers position SSDs behind the motherboard tray. Big side effect was that the SSD could only be secured or removed after removing the entire motherboard. A tedious job, however the CM engineers found a clever solution. Mount four rubber grommets to the SSD and just slide the SSD in to secure it. No motherboard removal is required at all!
