Heat and vibration kill hard drives, so selecting the proper container is more than just a matter of pricing and aesthetics.
Massing bulk storage into a single box introduces heat density issues, potentially placing a substantial strain on your chassiss physical structure and cooling system, more so if youre running a dual-graphics setup or doing any overclocking. To deal with these challenges, you need a chassis built with these considerations in mind.
