Zalman Z11 Neo, solid front cover - does it support two+ ODDs???

watchdogx · Aug 6, 2016

I'm looking at mid-tower cases for a new build that has great air flow, noise dampening, expandability with card and drive slots AND can be mounted with two ODDs - one BLU-RAY burner and one DVD burner to save on wear and tear on the BLU-RAY burner. I am looking hard at the Zalman Z11 line of cases as they look like the best choices on the market. But I noticed the Z11 Neo case has a solid cover front below the top drive bay. (Pics below) This may seem like a foolish question but how does this case design facilitate two or more ODDs? I did the standard web searches and also downloaded and read through the user manual but got no insight on this.

Thanks,

Of course the Zalman Z11 range can take two ODDs. I'm looking at one now and there are 5 removable bay covers on the front:

Mine's just a cheapo, unbranded midi case and it can take two ODDs - - nothing special about that, at least two 5.25" front drive bays is standard fare so I don't understand your problem.

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to my post. When I realized that not all of the Z11s are designed the same, I edited my question to narrow it to the Z11 Neo, which was the first Z11 I saw and led me to post my Q. Feel free to see the pictures I attached to the original post and offer input if you have some to offer. Thanks again.

Cheers,

Looks like a single bay to me. The market for optical drives isn't as big as it used to be. I haven't burned or read a disc in a a good 2 to 3 years now that I think about it
