SILVERSTONE DS380B Premium ITX Mini Tower Cabinet ( Black )

The SilverStone DS380B (model SST-DS380B) is a compact NAS-oriented small form factor chassis engineered for home and office storage builds that demand high drive density without consuming desk or rack space. Built around a steel SECC body with an aluminum front door, the DS380B balances rigidity and a clean aesthetic, with the front door concealing the I/O and power controls for a uniform, professional appearance. Despite its 21.6-litre footprint (211 × 285 × 360 mm / 8.3 × 11.2 × 14.2 in), the DS380B accommodates an impressive total of twelve drives: eight front-accessible 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap bays that also accept 2.5-inch drives, plus four fixed internal 2.5-inch bays. Hot-swap capability on the eight front bays means drives can be replaced without powering down the system, a critical feature for always-on NAS or media-server workloads. Motherboard support covers Mini-ITX and DTX form factors, giving builders flexibility between ultra-compact and slightly wider boards. Expansion is handled by two full-length PCIe slots, enabling a dedicated HBA or network card alongside a GPU if needed. The chassis accepts a standard SFX power supply (maximum 57 mm / 2.25 in height), keeping the overall volume compact. Thermal management is handled by three pre-installed 120 mm fans — two on the left side panel and one at the rear — each rated at 1,200 RPM and 22 dBA, providing quiet yet effective airflow across the drive array and core components. Removable dust filters simplify maintenance. An LED indicator with adjustable brightness and a Kensington Lock slot round out the feature set for shared or semi-public environments. Front I/O includes two USB 3.0 ports, one audio-out jack, and one microphone jack, positioned behind the aluminum door for access when needed.
