Copri vano unità Silverstone SST-FS202B nero

The Silverstone SST-FS202B drive bay panel is a slim, black aluminium front panel designed to fit into a 5.25" bay and provide a neat mounting solution for storage devices. With an emphasis on a low-profile, durable construction and support for data transfer rates up to 6 Gbit/s, this panel helps expand a system's storage while preserving a clean exterior. Its compact dimensions—101.5 mm width, 164 mm depth and 25.4 mm height—make it suitable for a wide range of desktop chassis where a 5.25" external opening is available.

Advantages

The aluminium construction offers enhanced durability and a lightweight feel while the black finish integrates with common PC builds. The panel's form factor is tailored to deliver a tidy front appearance and secure mounting for compatible drives. Support for up to 6 Gbit/s enables use with modern SATA devices without introducing a bottleneck at the interface level. Compact dimensions and modest weight simplify installation and reduce strain on the case front bezel.

Suitable for

• Adding a SATA storage device to a desktop with an available 5.25" drive bay
• Replacing or upgrading a worn or missing front bay panel with a metal alternative
• Maintaining a uniform black front panel aesthetic in custom PC builds

How to use

Install the drive bay panel by aligning it with an available 5.25" front bay opening and secure it with the appropriate screws or retention mechanism used by the case. Connect the internal SATA data and power cables from the system to the storage device mounted behind the panel, ensuring connectors are fully seated. After installation, verify that the drive is recognised by the operating system and that data transfer operates at expected speeds. If required, adjust internal cable routing to avoid interference with airflow or other components.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, mount compatible SATA devices in a way that leaves sufficient clearance for cooling and cable access. Use anti-static precautions when handling the aluminium panel and storage devices, and confirm that the case bay supports the panel's external dimensions before purchase.
