The Phanteks G400A and the Silverstone FARA R1 Pro are tied in this objective comparison, as each case leads in three of the eight evaluated specifications. The most significant differentiator for the Phanteks G400A is its storage capacity, which offers a 100% advantage in 3.5" drive bays compared to the competition. Conversely, the Silverstone FARA R1 Pro provides a 100% advantage in 2.5" drive bays, marking the most impactful spec improvement for that specific model.

Users who prioritize high-capacity mechanical storage should select the Phanteks G400A to utilize its superior 3.5" bay count. Alternatively, those who rely on a larger number of solid-state drives or smaller form-factor storage should choose the Silverstone FARA R1 Pro for its doubled 2.5" bay capacity. Because both cases perform equally across the remaining measured categories, the final decision rests entirely on your specific drive configuration requirements.
