Introduction
Special Features

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.
For seasoned enthusiasts looking to downsize even further beyond the popular DS380, SilverStone created the CS280 that can pack up
to nine 2.5” drives in nearly half the size of DS380! With the ability to accommodate components such as Mini-ITX motherboards, dual
slot expansion card, and standard retail box CPU coolers, the CS280 can readily support most system build requirements. Equipped with
two 80mm intake fans plus externally removable filter on the front, keeping everything cool and dust-free is as easy as in any SilverStone
chassis.
CS280’s signature feature is a group of eight individually lockable and hot-swappable drive cages for 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 11.8 liters overall, the impressively small CS280 is perfect for anyone looking to build a beautiful and even portable small form factor
NAS for home or office.

Premium aluminum front door with lock
Individual metal key lock for each drive for extra security
Fully supports SATA Hot-Swap function
