There's a lot to like here. The case takes both mATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. The drive trays can be a bit finicky to get clipped into place, but what plastic drives trays aren't, and how often are you really going to be removing/adding hard drives? Don't force the tray in and you won't break anything. The drive trays have mounting holes for both 3.5" and 2.5" drives. Drive trays have a blue light for power and a green light for activity. The 2-compartment design keeps the heat from the hard drives from washing over your motherboard and ensures the air pulled over the drives has a straight shot out of the case. I have 8, 7200-rpm drives and after 48 straight hours of file copying, temps were all b/t 47C and 51C. They idle at around 44C. Those are not bad temps at all for eight, 7200-prm disks crammed together in a quiet case. The fans the case comes with are not horrible. They are completely acceptable for stock fans. In fact, I bought 80mm Noctua Redux and 60mm Redux fans to replace all of them. The stock 80mms are actually not as noisy. The Redux fans have a bit of a high-pitched whine to them, which is more annoying to me than the hum of the stock fans. The 60mm Noctua is quieter and moves the same air as the stock 60mm fan, so that got swapped out. Due to the small upper compartment, and the good exhaust ventilation design, a single, quiet 60mm fan is sufficient to keep the CPU reasonably cool. If you don't mind fan noise, put a high-speed fan in there and you could keep a higher-wattage CPU fairly cool. I have a SuperMicro A2SDi-8C+ motherboard (Atom C3758 CPU) in this case and the CPU idles at 45C and never breaks 50C even under load. That's with the tiny 40mm fan that comes stock on the MB CPU HSF. You could fit approximately a 1U-height or other low-profile CPU HSF in here, so you might be able to keep a more powerful CPU reasonably cool (but noisy). I wouldn't put a 150W+ CPU in this case though. The case is SUPER-EASY to build in. The PSU (Flex format) lives in the lower compartment, so there's nothing in the MB area but the 60mm fan. There are some small gotchas that you need to be aware of. Most Flex PSUs don't have really long cables. You will need an ATX 24-pin, and CPU 12v 8-pin extension cables b/c most ATX/12V MB sockets are the side of the MB opposite of where the PSU mounts in the bottom compartment. I'd like to see these extensions included with the case, even if they upped the price by $10. It's likely that 90%+ of users will need these extensions and it can be a real bummer finishing up your new build only to realize you have to wait another few days for the cables you didn't know you needed to arrive b/c your PSU cables are 2" too short. There are no SSD mounting locations in the MB tray, but there is space along the sides of the compartment to mount SSDs with double-sided tape, which is what I have done. It's not likely you'll be moving this case around, so double-sided tape on SSDs that weigh like 1 ounce works just fine. I have 2 SSDs mounted and could fit in a third without too much hassle. Using 20TB hard drives, you could have 160TB of storage in a case the size of a large shoebox. That's just nuts. FANTASTIC CASE and highly recommended. Review: good case but lacking support and instructions - the case is a little tight to work in it's quality is ok only one hdd tray not lighting up ,tried switching trays but nothing works checked that tray everything seams ok but when i put it back in case still not lighting up so i think the led problem is on hdd back plane size of this case is perfect for the space i have it in it has almost enough room in motherboard part to add 2 -2.5 sata ssd but mounts for only 1 so i 3d printed a mount that holds 2 price point it should actually be $30 less product support is almost non existent. it came with no setup guide and has a ton of screws don't know which is which so no i will not be recommending this nas case to anyone ## Features - You will get: A network attached storage Enclosures with accessories including 3 x mute back fans, 2 x back panel, 8 x hard disk stands, SATA data cable, various screws. ( Motherboard CPU and other accessories are not included ) - Motherboard Support: Various ITX motherboards in the market: 17X17cm (6.7β€œ*6.7β€œ); Micro-ATX motherboards 24X24cm (9.6β€œ*9.6β€œ) - Power Type: Standard 1U power supply, compatible with FLEX power supply - Low Noise: For powerful airflow out of the box, the case comes preset with 2 x 9025 fans(90mm*90mm*25mm); 1 x 6025 fan(60mm*60mm*25mm). Greatly improve the heat dissipation capacity and Very Quiet - HDD Slot: Network attached storage Enclosures support 8 x 3.5” HDD(compatible 2.5” SSD), You will have more storage capacity, Support hot swap - The NAS case is good to meet the needs of computer hardware enthusiasts DIY. It is suitable for upgrade old and small Network Attached Storage Enclosures to a new one chassis. New Computer Network Attached Storage Enclosures will better protect your family privacy. Bring faster processing speed and more secure data sharing. 8 bay nas case suitable for Home office / network storage / enterprise storage and other fields ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09QKMQ1B1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,108 in Computer Cases | | Brand | AUDHEID | | Color | black | | Compatible Devices | Servers, Desktops | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 98 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Alloy Steel | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 12.2"D x 12"W x 8.7"H | | Item Type Name | 8 bay nas case for home | | Manufacturer | AUDHEID | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Mounting Type | Rack Mount | | Product Dimensions | 12.2"D x 12"W x 8.7"H | | Size | 12.2 inches x 12 inches x 8.7 inches | | Warranty Description | 2 year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AUDHEID - **Color:** black - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Product Dimensions:** 12.2"D x 12"W x 8.7"H - **Size:** 12.2 inches x 12 inches x 8.7 inches ## Images ![K7 8 Bay NAS Case, Computer Enclosures Compatible Micro-ATX Mini-ITX Motherboard, 3 x Fans, 8 x 2.5/3.5" Tray, Network Attached Storage Server for Home(Diskless) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rWkulXyEL.jpg) ![K7 8 Bay NAS Case, Computer Enclosures Compatible Micro-ATX Mini-ITX Motherboard, 3 x Fans, 8 x 2.5/3.5" Tray, Network Attached Storage Server for Home(Diskless) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eV+Bbl9YL.jpg) ![K7 8 Bay NAS Case, Computer Enclosures Compatible Micro-ATX Mini-ITX Motherboard, 3 x Fans, 8 x 2.5/3.5" Tray, Network Attached Storage Server for Home(Diskless) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dpZnxoY+L.jpg) ![K7 8 Bay NAS Case, Computer Enclosures Compatible Micro-ATX Mini-ITX Motherboard, 3 x Fans, 8 x 2.5/3.5" Tray, Network Attached Storage Server for Home(Diskless) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jUhanj4fL.jpg) ![K7 8 Bay NAS Case, Computer Enclosures Compatible Micro-ATX Mini-ITX Motherboard, 3 x Fans, 8 x 2.5/3.5" Tray, Network Attached Storage Server for Home(Diskless) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711j1aaG4bL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this include power supply? if not, what type of psu should i search for?** A: It does not include a power supply. You need a Flex ATX power supply. Be aware -- the power supply mounts on the opposite side of where most mainboard 20/24 pin and 4/8 pin 12v connectors are, so you'll need to make sure you pick a power supply with long cables, or purchase an extension kit (like I did) at the same time. **Q: Is there a fan to cool the drive bays? Or room to mount one to blow air across them? I’m concerned the backplane will be in the way.** A: Flow isn't going to be a problem because of the back plate. It mostly depends how thick your drives are. I can feel airflow when the machine is on. **Q: Does te backplane support SAS?** A: the backplane does accept sas drives but the connectors on the rear of the backplane are sata so you need a sas to sata breakout cable for your raid card. **Q: Why is there IDE connector in the case?** A: The IDE is to supply the power to the SATA board. Instead of SATA power cords go to 8 SATA hot swap HDD case. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic case for a low-power NAS *by C***O on June 14, 2023* This is a great case and not just "for the price."

The back-plane will accommodate not only SATA, but also SAS drives. The drive bays work great. Wish there was a connector on the back-plane for drive locator LED connectors. Stock noise level is very acceptable. With the stock fans and 8 SAS drives, the case runs cool, but the drives are hot as there is nearly no air flow around the drives. There's a lot of wasted space in the lower chamber where the drives are to accommodate the front power button and USB connectors, but those could have been moved to the top and the drives spread out a bit to help in ventilation. I played around with different fan configurations for a week until I built a solution which causes the drive temperatures to not budge at all under activity. You'll find it if you search for Audheid on Thingiverse. All in all, I'd recommend the case. ## Frequently Bought Together - AUDHEID K7 8 Bay NAS Case, Computer Enclosures Compatible Micro-ATX Mini-ITX Motherboard, 3 x Fans, 8 x 2.5/3.5" Tray, Network Attached Storage Server for Home(Diskless) - SilverStone Technology 350 Watt Flex ATX Power Supply with Fixed Cables and 80 Plus Gold with 6Pin PCIe Connector SST-FX350-G-USA, Black（Lead-Free PaintοΌ‰ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/449703830-k7-8-bay-nas-case-computer-enclosures-compatible-micro-atx](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/449703830-k7-8-bay-nas-case-computer-enclosures-compatible-micro-atx) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-27*
