Since choosing a PC case is personal choice, go with the case that you like most appearance wise.

As far as my personal taste goes, i'd go with Focus G case since it looks like a miniature version of my Skylake's build case: Corsair 760T v2 black. Full specs with pics in my sig.
Also, Focus G has better fan support and so goes for the storage drives as well. Maybe you don't know that but you can convert 5.25" bay to hold either 1x 3.5" HDD or 2x 2.5" SSDs. And Focus G has 2x 5.25" drive bays.

SilverStone, specs: https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?area=en&pid=726
Fractal Design, specs: https://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/focus-series/focus-g

Oh, if you go with SilverStone case, do note that it doesn't have 5.25"...

Oh, if you go with SilverStone case, do note that it doesn't have 5.25" bay and there's nowhere where you can put/install your Samsung ODD.

^ that's not true , the redline has 2x 2.5inch ssd mounts on the rear of the case tray ( accessible by removing the right hand case panel) + 3 x 3.5/2.5 drive trays inside the full length psu enclosure.

That said the focus g is a good case too

It does need a decent rear exhaust fan adding taking you close to $60.

That changes the price difference simply because you don't need to add anything to the red line.

Out of the box It has pretty much the best airflow/cooling of any case out there irregardless of price.

Focus G can hold more drives than Redline. Here's the rundown:

Redline:
2x 2.5" bays
3x 3.5" bays
Total: 5x 2.5" drives or 3x 3.5" drives

Focus G:
1x 2.5" bay
2x 3.5" bays
2x 5.25" bays
Total: 7x 2.5" drives (with 2x 2.5" drives per 1x 5.25" bay) or 4x 3.5" drives (with 1x 3.5" drive per 1x 5.25" bay)

So, as i said above, Focus G has better drive support.
