SilverStone Technology CS382 is a compact and flexible NAS chassis designed for enthusiasts who need a high-performance storage solution. It features 8 hot-swappable drive bays that can accommodate both 2.5" and 3.5" SAS-12G / SATA-6G drives, making it ideal for building a reliable network-attached storage system. The chassis includes LED indicators to display drive operation status, ensuring users can monitor drive activity easily. The front panel provides USB Type-C, USB 3.0, and combo audio ports for convenient connectivity and multimedia access.
The CS382 supports Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards along with ATX (PS2) power supplies, offering flexibility in component selection. It also accommodates 240 or 280mm liquid cooling radiators, which is essential for maintaining optimal temperatures during heavy workloads. The case includes four expansion slots for high-end graphics cards, network adapters, or RAID cards, allowing users to customize their system according to specific needs. This makes it suitable for advanced users who require additional hardware for performance or redundancy.
The design of the CS382 emphasizes usability and security. The hot-swappable drive bays are protected by a front door with a security lock, preventing unauthorized access and theft. Two included 92mm fans help maintain airflow and keep the drives cool. An additional 9.5mm slim optical drive bay allows for reading and writing CDs, DVDs, or Blu-rays, which can be useful for backup or media storage purposes. Removable dust filters in key areas make cleaning and maintenance easier, ensuring the system remains efficient over time.
The CS382 is well-suited for real-world use cases such as home media servers, small business NAS systems, or personal cloud storage solutions. Its compact size and efficient use of space make it ideal for environments where space is limited but performance is critical. However, due to its micro-ATX form factor, it may not be suitable for larger systems that require more expansion options or cooling capacity beyond what the case provides.
