Zalman MS1000-HS2 Case Reviews


Thu 2009-12-10 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
BCCHardware, Hardware Secrets, and High Tech Reviews have posted reviews of the brand new Zalman MS1000-HS2, a tool-free mid-tower case with six hot-swap HDD bays and noise-dampening material in both side panels.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • BCCHardware:

    "While there is a lot to like with the Zalman MS1000-HS2, there are a couple of things that bug me a little bit with this case. As previously mentioned, the lack of fan on the second HDD module makes drives installed in that bay a little too warm for my liking. Granted, many users will not use more than three drives, but for the cost of a single fan, I believe Zalman should have stepped up and provided one with this case. Also, the HDD racks are plastic and seem a bit flimsy. When trying to hot-swap a 640GB Seagate drive, I actually pulled the lever off and the spring shot across the shop. I managed to find it and put it back together without issues, but new drives seem tight and you will have to take care when removing them."

  • Hardware Secrets: Zalman MS1000-HS2 Case Review:

    "Let’s take a look on the latest steel mid-tower case from Zalman, MS1000-HS2, which features six hot-swap bays and much more. Of course the use of steel instead of aluminum made this case to be heavy, but on the other hand allowed it to arrive on the market with a nice price tag for a product with so many features.

    MS1000-HS2 is officially available in two colors options, black or white, but we could only find the black model being sold in the USA.

    Like other cases from Zalman, MS1000-HS2 has a very sober and professional looks."

  • High Tech Reviews:

    "The Zalman MN1000 SR2 is a extremely well built and well thought-out which shows in the design and beauty of the case. The fact that the case also has a total of six hot swappable SATA drive slots in the final topping on this great product.

    Once we installed all available fan slots and turned all of them to the highest positions the case really began to shine dropping our overall board temp and case temp more than 3 degrees lower than what we were used to seeing.

    Priced at around the $150.00 mark we feel that you are getting a fabulous deal especially in light of the fact that it has more features than can be listed here."

An attractive aluminium mid-tower case with 6 hot-swappable hard drive bays for $150-165? What's not to love.
