How many HDDs do I install? I mean that I want to install two HDDs like 2.5inch SSD &amp; 3.5inch HDD together in this case.

You can fit two hard drives in this case. It's pretty tight though, with the drives difficult to get in and out over the processor fan. If you plan on a custom CPU cooler, you may have to install the drives first. Depending on the mobo you pick, you may or may not have to install the drives before installing the mobo even with a stock cooler. Kind of a pain for maintenance but you shouldn't be swapping out hard drives very often. I have used different motherboards in this case and was able to squeeze one drive in and out without removing the board.

Currently I have 2 Sata and 1 SS drive in it, still room for more. One thing though pickup a few 90 deg connectors as the case doesn't close properly if you use the regular connections for your Sata drives.

What type of drive do you have? Yo need dual raid SSD drives sata 3+ to get around those speeds.

you wanna replace your drive or add this one? My computer has a additional space for mSATA ssd, so I don't quite worry about that. But if your computer needs your to replace your drive, I would recommend your a HDD+SSD drive. The first thing you have to check is the interface, is your computer has a mSATA port or just SATA port. The one you are looking at which is the one I am using is mSATA, u don't need to worry about the size of this drive it is the smallest one, size should be compatible. The port is the important thing you have to considered.

Yes. I currently am using 2 HDD's for total redundancy of my data so 2 4tb drives only provide 4tb of data storage. I am using a 3rd 4tb HDD to automatically backup the data. In the future if I add 2 more 4tb drives I could double the capacity of both the online storage and backup capacity.

I've seen the same way of describing the ssd in other computers and they only contain 1 ssd drive. On the Sony website there is no mention of 2 separate hard drives. I am reasonably sure this model only has a I7 2.0 ghz processor and 1 256 gb ssd. I'm ordering one today. I was confused at first also

to you it looks like 1 drive. The firmware on the drive uses the ssd for the most active files. you don't control that. format the partition and load your os. i think you will like it! I am really very happy with the performance; it is very smooth and very consistent.

You can mount six hard drives, whether ssd or 3.5" inside in the two cages. You can also mount two ssd or 3.5" drives in the two external racks, you can finally mount the last hd which can be a 2.5" or ssd behind the motherboard tray for a total of 9 hard drives. Everything is included.

I just installed a new win7 os no problems at all. Then reattached my old drive and removed what I wanted , formatted it and store pictures and large programs on it. I am just sorry I did not buy a bigger SSD.

If you send a request to support at MSI they can forward a pic of this laptop with the bottom removed. They highlight the mounting areas where the new drives install. It uses msata drives for the space savings. They are about 1/3d the size of a cased SSD.

There are four separate 'hard drives': two are SSD and two are HDD. So they appear as C, D, E, and F. The total 'bytes' is about what they advertised. But I was surprised. If you are expecting one large 'hard drive', all the bytes in C, then you will also be surprised.

None. It is only a shell with 4 bays to instal whatever HDD you want. We recommend you use the same HDD manufacturer, model and size. We typically instal four (4) HDD's of 4TB each, for a total of 16TB HDD capacity. Go to www.qnap.com, click on the model and then choose Compatibility and they will list all compatible HDD's you can instal to make up the system.

I use an internal 1 TB HDD. Never try a 3 TB HDD. It is not a "1080P HD", and I have a fatal problem with it.

I have 2 - 3.5" drives and one 2.5" drive. (The 2.5" drive isn't bolted in, just rests on top of the optical drive. You may be able to squeeze another but it is tight with the optical drive installed.

There are seven(7) 3.5 inch slots to put hdds or ssds in, I used this to build my brother a new gaming rig and he loves it..looks nice and has great air flow.

Hi, I put a Hard drive in after I bought it, I think it will take up to 2tb hard drives/

Yes. It looks like you can put 2 drives in if you want. I suggest an SSD as your boot drive, and this one for storage.
