The Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact is the objective winner of this comparison, securing a lead in four out of eight measured specifications. Its most significant advantage over the competition is its storage capacity for 2.5-inch drives, which offers a 100% improvement in bay count. This makes the Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact the superior choice for users prioritizing high-density solid-state storage configurations within a compact chassis footprint.

Users who require extensive 3.5-inch drive support should select the Lian Li O11 Air Mini, as it provides a 100% advantage in that specific category. While the Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact is better suited for those needing more 2.5-inch bays, the Lian Li O11 Air Mini remains the optimal selection for builders who need to prioritize larger mechanical hard drive storage within their system build.
