Exactly how many 3.5 HDD's fit if you don't use any optical drives?

There are 9 disc drive bays - 3 for DVD drives and 6 for HDD. 2 of the DVD bays can be adapted to accomodate HDDs with included hardware. The remaining bay would require you to provide the adapting. It also includes an additional small cage independent of the other bays that has a capacity of 4 SSDs.

You sure can, I have four drives in actually. Good case to use for any basic build. Just be careful with large RAM, I did have to get creative with my new corsair 8gb because it was interfering with one Hard drive

I have 3 3.5 HD's and 1 2.5 SSD and was able to put all of them in without buying anything other than the hard drives

This might be a very very late answer but yes, most SSD drives have an adapter to make them fit into a standard HDD slot.As for the people that say DVD slots are also 3.5" that is incorrect, the Optical Drive slots are 4.5" whereas the Floppy/HDD and accessory slots are 3.5", Hope this helps!

There are 4 drive bays. I haven't done so, but I understand you can rig the DVD slot for an additional drive. I have already added USB external without a problem. As far as the larger that 2TB drives - sorry, I haven't tried that. I'm running two small drives to handle the OS in a RAID configuration and 2-2TB drives in a RAID for everything else. Just haven't had a reason to upgrade beyond 2TB yet.

There are 3 - 5.25 front bays (no 3.5" in front) and 6 - 3.5" HDD spaces inside.

I assume any standard drive would fit. I currently have a 1 TB WD Black in my case.

most optical drives designed for atx cases are 5.25" and they would all fit. there are optical drives that are housed in external enclosures, and those would not, but they do sit nicely on top of the case.

Generally, a drive bay adapter like this one will fit into an case with three available 5 3/4" drive bays. However, you will probably have to remove that toolless fastener stuff and use regular m3x6 (optical drive) screws. You might also be interested in a Cooler Master 4 in 3 HDD Module Device - (STB-3T4-E3-GP). Good luck!

No.I believe you can purchase an adapter for the optical drive location and place a second HDD in there. This will replace your current optical drive of course, so you would have to decide if that's something you can live without or you could purchase an external optical drive.

I have 5- 3.5" 3TB drives in mine. You could probably use the 5.25" bays to mount up to 2 additional 3.5" drives with some adapters.

Never mind apparently there is one. Don't get a optical drive though. You need to stuff all your cables there because there is NO ROOM AT ALL

No, you can't put there 6 3.5" hard drive in. It's only four bay for 3.5" hard drives. But, you can squeeze two 2.5" hard drives as well.

I looked inside and there are two 5.25 bays, one of these is occupied with a DVD-r. The hard drive slots I'm not so sure of but it looks like 5 altogether including the one that is used for the drive that comes with the computer. If this isn't correct then there may be 3 altogether. Sorry that I can't be positive about this.There is no door access like the DVD-r drives on the front of the computer but there are bays inside for 3.5 hard drives to be mounted.

Yes. I have had a computer had a 500GB plus a 1.5TB. And another with 2 SSDs which are relatively small volume and a 2TB HD. As long as you have the power and connectors you are free to add in as many of any size as you want.

You can use regular 2.5" HDDs but you'll want to pay attention to the thickness of the drive. I went with a WD Red 1TB. I don't have the article handy but there is a good writeup out there on the max thickness and even how to mod it for thicker drives.

I have 3TB and 4TB drives in there. They are just straight pass throughs for the most part, depends more on the BIOS of your motherboard.
