Does this have the ssd mounts on the back of the mobo tray like the 450d?

Yes but I used that area for extra cord management space and just mounted my ssd in a regular HDD tray.

I haven't tried this myself, but if you have an empty expansion card slot, there are brackets that can be used to house a 2.5 inch SSD drive where a card would otherwise go. Amazon sells one made by Syba and one by StarTech. Also if your motherboard supports M.2, you can get your SSD in that form factor and save yourself a bay.

2 3.5 bay slots that run up the side of the case as well as as a 3.5 expansion bay just below the CD Drive slot that includes a tray to install an SSD on. The tray actually made installing my SSD a snap! Overall, it's a leaner style, so prepare yourself to be working in a tighter space.

Yes. If you look on the product description it lists it under Ports Slots & Chassis.

The 3.5" brackets have screw holes for the ssd on the bottom, no adapter required,

Yes, SD in drive bay is OK. There is also an mSATA connector on the mother board that can be used for SSD.

Yes it does. There is an adapter port and cables for the EIDE on the front of the dock and the slot on the top supports both 2.5 and 3.5 sata drives. I own three of them and am very satisfied with the product. I use them for my computer repair business

Sorry it took me a few days I had to find time to take mine apart and make sure. It does not have the connector on the motherboard. The pins to solder one on are there if you're handy with a soldering iron, but this should only be attempted if you have done this kind of thing before. A much easier, much safer way to add an SSD is to purchase an "Ultrabay hard drive" dock from e-bay ($20-25) and then you can swap out a hard drive or the extra graphics card when you need each one.

Thanks for your information. I did also find out that there's a sata port intended for an optical drive. If so, then I can mount the SSD in that bay and still have all 4 bays for data. Now - does anybody know if the BIOS can handle 3TB drives without repartitioning?

Yes there are screws that allow you to remove the drive bays. The airflow on this case is great. I have fans in every possible location. I have 9 drives in this case and no problems with anything overheating and the cable management is great. I recently put a 256 GB SSD in the hidden compartment on the right hand side.

Yes, the LED's are under the power and reset buttons. Expanding the front view photo you can see them. It has all the hardware for mounting the MB.

Normal SSD's, like the SanDisk Extreme, plug into typical SATA connectors and power connectors. They do not normally come with special mounting brackets to adapt them to a 3.5" drive bay. Some drive bays have screw hole alignments and screws for mounting SSD's, or even special smaller form factor bays for them. Plus you can just buy a cheap mounting bracket. I have even taped an SSD to a drive bay before.

Ben, The SSD mounts on the bottom base of the case behind the power supply and under 3.5 inch drive bays. there are 4 screw holes that match up with the screw holes on the SSD.

Hi A; you get the mounting hardware, sata cables. dvd for drivers/utilities, back panel cover for the stuff on the back (usbs, sound, etc). This is an excellent mobo..

You can slide it into a StarTech 5.25in Trayless Hot Swap Mobile Rack for 3.5in Hard Drive, I have not tried to mount a ssd in the bracket to see if the sata and sli lines up with the bracket mounting..

None as far as I know of. I purchased the 480 gig version and all that came with it was the SSD and an adapter to make it fit in a 9mm drive space if needed. The Crucial website sells software to assist in installing the SSD so check it out to see if that will help.

To be honest I cant remember exactly, but I do not remeber it having any SATA cables in the box. I bought some SATA 3 cables because I did not have any and I use a full tower case. So I would buy some just in case and make sure they have the metal clips not the plastic ones.
