External Impressions of the 650D (Continued)
One of Corsair's more stylish features of this case is the top mounted SATA dock.
The 650D has a feature other Obsidian Series cases did not have, and that's the top mounted SATA dock. This dock is also VERY user friendly allowing you to easily slide in a 2.5" SSD (solid state drive) or hard drive without having to worry about guiding it, or being a snug fit for a full 3.5" drive if needed. The little arm you see in the picture is spring loaded and folds down if you put in a 3.5" HDD/SSD. The small little switch to the bottom right is the fan controller. It raises from 40% to 100% fan speed, and easily gives you simple control over the fan itself while keeping the cases a uniform look.
One of the best design options of the Corsair 650D is the hidden front panel and its number of connections. With a simple push the door flips down and we get access to two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, Firewire/IE1394 400, and 3.5mm headphone & microphone jacks.
A new addition to this case vs. the older 600T based on a similar design is a set of grommets to isolate fan vibrations; this helps reduce the overall case noise as well.
