Lian Li HDD Cage

This cage is designed specifically for cases with three available, stacked 5.25-inch external drive bays. Before purchasing, verify that your chassis has three unobstructed 5.25-inch slots and enough internal clearance to accommodate the cage's depth.

The cage uses specialized rubber or silicone mounts to physically isolate the hard drives from the metal frame of the enclosure. This decoupling prevents mechanical vibrations from transferring to your case, which significantly reduces the humming noise often associated with high-speed spinning drives.

Yes, the 120mm fan typically uses a standard 3-pin or 4-pin fan header that connects directly to your motherboard or a fan controller. This allows you to monitor fan speeds and adjust cooling performance based on your system's thermal needs.

This cage is engineered specifically for 3.5-inch hard drives. While you could technically mount a 2.5-inch drive using an adapter bracket, the cage's primary design focus is on the form factor and cooling requirements of standard 3.5-inch mechanical drives.

While the aluminum finish looks premium, its primary benefit is thermal management. Aluminum acts as a passive heat sink, helping to dissipate heat away from the drives more effectively than plastic alternatives, which complements the active cooling provided by the 120mm fan.
