Hard drive cage
Hard drive cage held in place with 8 screws
No hotswap drive option
Might have liked aluminum accent parts
Two additional USB connections at the front top of the case would have been nice to see since have to remove the cover each time you want to plug in another removable device would become tedious and well annoying

SilverStone had a rather difficult job to do when designing the new Raven chassis, because the original Raven was, well, rather original. Putting minor gripes aside, the company has done a pretty good job with the Raven RV-02That's not to say it doesn'...

Pésimo diseño para el montaje de los discos duros, Muy poco espacio para montar discos duros (solo permite 3 discos de 3 ½ y uno de 2 ½ para un SSD), Por lo cual HardwareMX le otorga el siguiente premio:
El gabinete no decepciona. Pero no es al gusto de este autor lo que represento en su momento el RAVEN 01, ahora, trae ventajas importantes. Es sensiblemente más económico que su contraparte el raven 01, con algunos recortes aquí y...
