Drive installation with the Raidsonic Icy Box NAS is straightforward. After removing four tiny screws from the base, the outer shell slides off to reveal the crudely cut inner case.

Rubber grommets provide a decent amount of vibration dampening. There's a fan slotted into the back of the enclosure and a moveable temperature sensor that needs to be near the drives.
