Thanks for your response, Eric. The pictures on their site are the only 
ones I've managed to find. I did, however, find a related video on 
youtube--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYqA7FvOzhk. That seems to show a 
different, perhaps earlier model. But the case looks the same. My guess is 
that you'd probably be using 2.5 inch drives if you were going to stuff 8 
in there, and that you'd probably have to buy as an add-on their drive 
caddy (or two). But that's just a guess. Not too important for me since I 
intend to have only two drives.
