## 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: Great NAS Case - I bought this along with a bunch of other parts to replace my 13 year old Haswell era NAS in my house. The case is small, compact and pretty sturdy and looks great. There's none of the trendy RGB nonsense on this case which makes it great for just a simple NAS/Server chassis. The prices have definitely changed since I bought it so I can't speak too much about prices. I had one snag with this case when I bought, one of the case fans on the HDD cages had a crushed wire, causing a short. I replaced it with a spare I had and Silverstone's support was rather instant in shipping me a whole set of replacement fans. I'm not taking any stars away for that. I have all front bays loaded with 16TB WD Reds and they're generally noisy. The case keeps some of the cooling fan noise muffled which keeps the NAS from sounding like a bunch of bagpipes in the back of my office. I also have a 24TB WD Red in the open HDD slot inside the case, along with 2 NVMe SSDs and 2 SATA SSDs in the case mounting brackets. I wanted to go the extra mile and replace the 5.25 bays with a hot swappable drive cage with more drives but by the time I had the money for that, AI drove the costs to the moon and I never got the chance to afford it. I have not done anything either with the ODD bay that is easily accessible from the front and the side of the case. Overall, I've been able to cram over 85TB of raw storage into this tiny case, enough to last me another 13 years I hope. Temperatures run a bit warmer than I wanted and the HDD cage fans run full throttle at all times due to my configuration, I plan to eventually put them on a fan controller and get that more dialed in. If you are trying to use this for AI workloads or anything like that requiring a GPU, the position of some of the case fans kept me from having a RAID controller and GPU in the motherboard at the same time. Since I really didn't need a GPU on a headless NAS, I just removed it and went along with my day. The case lights have a bright white appearance in the dark. With the front door closed, they're not too bright, so if I have to have a guest sleep in my home office, they won't get ultra annoyed with lights lit everywhere.
Review: An excellent case despite QA issue - Upped to 5 stars based on both the quality of the chassis and Silverstone's fast and easy RMA in the end. When I got this case, it took me awhile to actually be able to build in it due to some health issues, and I got a bad backplane PCB. There's two of them, each supporting for SATA drives with hotswap, if supported. It took me quite awhile to get in touch with Silverstone (issues mostly on my end), but when I did a human being answered the phone and told me what to do with my RMA form. That was less than two weeks ago as I write this and I just installed the replacement PCB tonight. First bit of advice for this case: Use a downdraft server CPU cooler, not a big dual tower box air cooler like I did. The tower cooler fit, but it means that every time I need to really get at the back of the drive cage for cabling stuff, I need to take out five screws and at least partly remove the drive cage so that I can route cables. Likewise, Silverstone says something about water cooling being possible in this case … no, no not really it just isn't. By the time you pack in even relatively short mini-SAS to 4 SATA breakout cables, run all the power lines, etc., this case doesn't have a lot of internal room for an AIO, and you'd be stuck with like a single 120 as it was. You can do better with air cooling in this case, and for less money. The case is well-built and has a lot of flexibility within the constraints of the mATX form factor otherwise. The case is upside-down from what's traditionally done, so if you have a heavy GPU you're going to need to find a way to keep it from sagging the opposite direction, which is something you might need to think about if you have a multi-slotted monster like some of the most recent cards—though this case screams media server to me, so your video card might wind up being a pretty small thing that does H.265 pr AV1 encodes and little more. In my case I opted for an AMD chip that's got both onboard graphics and ECC support, which left the x16 slot free for a SAS card in IT mode. These things run hot so I've got some fans mounted in the top, and I generally recommend doing so no matter your configuration. The two stock fans behind the drive cage are "fine" but they're not silent by any means—you could replace them with quieter PWM fans. Note, this requires removing the drive cage's PCBs. and you really want a good long #2 philips for that. Which requires me to segue for a moment to discuss tools: I swear by my iFixit Pro Tech toolkit for most electronics work. For PC cases though, I use two nothing-fancy/nothing cute Klein #2 Philips drivers. One is a Klein #603-4 (your average 4" bladed philips) and the other is a #603-7 which is, you guessed it, a 7" blade. To get the PCBs and fans out of the drive cage, use the 7". These drivers don't have spinny caps or ratchets, and they don't have magnetic screw retention (unless you use a magnet on them periodically, which I do), but I want precision more than anything else and a grippy handled "basic" screwdriver is indespensible for this kind of thing. The drive bays… You obviously have your eight sleds for classic spinning rust. You could screw a 2.5" drive into it, but that's not what this case is made for (and they're obviously not toolless that way.) You've got space for a couple of 2.5" drives screwed into place on the left (back) side of the case. It requires removing the drive cage (five screws) and then the platform the cage sits on (didn't count how many screws) but you could install a 9th drive under the cage, but I don't know who realistically ever would. You're probably not going to do that though. But there's also provision for a 5.25 optical drive or device if you need one, and a slim laptop optical drive! Cabling around this is a little tight but I made it work, and you can remove the big 5.25 bracket if it interferes with your monster GPU. The toolless drive sleds … the little rails that snap in to make them toolless feel breakable to me, but I've yet to break one and I've had some drive turnover in this case. I didn't ask Silverstone if I could buy some extras, but … I might do that JIC. Using the case for a server under Linux … drives connected to the LSI SAS card appear _in random order_. They appear before the 2.5" SSD I'm using for containers. Of course ideally your server setup only ever cares what the UUID of the drives or the partitions on them are. It'd be really cool if you had a nice dashboard that would show you all the drives in physical order—and that's something you could do using /dev/disk/by-path: pci-0000:01:00.0-sas-phy0-lun-0 -> ../../sda pci-0000:01:00.0-sas-phy1-lun-0 -> ../../sdd pci-0000:01:00.0-sas-phy2-lun-0 -> ../../sdc …etc …but it'd be a roll your own sort of thing. If TrueNAS Scale has a facility to do that, neat, I don't know about it. Whatever random fedebuntuEL Linux you install won't unless you feel like writing a module for Cockpit, which might be cool but I haven't done it. If you're a terminal user it would be trivial to write udev rules to create per-bay device symlinks using the physical path and set up your monitoring scripts to use those. But that'd again be a custom-rolled solution that isn't what a canned storage appliance server distribution is going to do for you. Oh, how do I know those physical disks are in the right order? Why, I created labels on the partition tables, and the partitions themselves, of course! NOT that the OpenMediaVault web interface even knows those labels exist, or care. No, it mounts the partitions by UUID and refers to them by whatever /dev/sd[a-h] they get assigned. But this isn't a review of OpenMediaVault. If it were it would not be five stars—I'm using OMV because it's the only storage appliance distribution that supports mergerfs/snapraid, which make a lot more sense than any other form of disk spanning and parity I could come up with. It just has a UI that's obnoxious and the backend salt database is basically technical debt IMO. But in terms of the hardware, it all works very well at this point. What more could I want here? Full ATX maybe. If this machine were going to use a modern monster GPU, I might want that to be able to have that and room for a NIC or something. But since this is just a file server, I was able to make it work with a good mATX board. But seriously, you NEED those skinny SATA cables if you're not using a SAS controller like I am. That's not optional here.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 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.
