The cases both do well for their class. As you may have noticed, I didn’t test the TA-212 because it has the same chassis as the TA-252 while the different front panel may only affect the cooling of the hard drives.

The low-speed exhaust fan of the TA-370 was very quiet at work. The TA-252/TA-212, on the contrary, has a rather noisy fan with an obviously redundant performance, so you may want to reduce its voltage to lower the noise to acceptable level.
