THE TURBONAS TS-1635-8G EXTERIOR
With a width of 369.89mm, depth of 319.8mm and height of 303.84mm the 12.32Kg heavy TS-1635 is one of the largest models to ever get here.
To showcase just how large the 16 bay TS-1635 really is we placed it right next to the 5 bay TS-531P which we reviewed a while back.
The sides of the enclosure as you can see are not perforated.
With a total of twelve 3.5" bays and four 2.5" bays it's no surprise that the front is almost entirely taken by them.
All 16 bays feature push to release mechanisms with small locks at the bottom (up to lock, down to release).
A small LCD screen with two buttons is placed right next to the 2.5" bays.
The on/off power button is located on the lower left right over a USB 3.0 port and next to a LED strip.
All of the drive trays are made out of hard plastic and are quite sturdy (i still prefer the aluminum ones however).
At the rear of the enclosure the three 92mm exhaust fans obviously steal the show.
Here we also see 4 PCI shields/covers (only 1 is actually usable) and right beneath them we also have a microphone port, two 10GbE SFP+ LAN ports, two Gigabit RJ45 LAN ports, two USB 3.0 ports, line out port, reset button and a Kensington port.
The power supply unit on/off switch and its power cord port are placed on the lower right of the rear right next to the built-in speaker.
