Hello,
I would like to know what the bays of the cases are?
I am currently on the website materiel.net and I see
Bays:
3.5" bay - internal (max) 5
3.5" bay - external (max) 2
5.25" bay (max) 2
What does all of this mean?
Thanks in advance!

The 5.25 bays are used to install CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drives and fan controllers.
The internal 3.25 bays are used for hard drives and SSDs.
The external 3.25 bays are used to install multimedia readers that include various types of inputs (SD, MMC, XD, SD, MS, Micro-SD, USB, e-SATA, Thunderbolt, Firewire/IEEE 1394, Stereo, K...) and floppy disk drives.
I'm not sure if hard drives can be installed in external 3.25 bays, but it would be useful for transporting hard drives from one case to another (moving 2TB to a 2GB USB drive takes time -.-).
