Can the external hard drive slots hold a optical drive too?

no because it's too small, however, there are three slots for an optical drive. The external hard drive slots can be accessed from the outside either so there is no point placing a optical drive there.The optical drive cannot for into an external hard drive slot.

The external bays will hold an optical drive without any problems. I have a Dvd rom installed.

The three external slots (5.25 inches) on top on the case are for the optical drives or any other external devices. The rest of them (3.5 inches) are for the internal hard drives.

The slots for hard drives are internal only. The external ones are for optical drives, so you can have up to 3 optical drives in that case and a lot of internal hard drives

I put a Lite-On DVD drive in the second slot down with no problem at all. I was a little concerned with the tool-less clips and used one screw for the optical drive. I was very happy with the case.

No this case doesn't support an internal optical drive. I have this case an I use an external optical drive for it. The case is amazing though!

I added the ssd. Really improved the unit. Not sure about another optical drive

Hello there, I bought this case a while back and it does have a spot for an optical drive. However it only will accept a slim slot loaded drive like you would find in a laptop. This case DOES NOT have a drive bay compatable with a disk trey.

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.

The short description is right. It can hold three 3.5" drives. Possibly four if you take the space from the optical drive slot.

We do not have any specific drives to recommend we suggest you search under the following categories online, "slot load optical drives"

Nope there's no optical drive. That's why I had to buy a seperate external optical drive

Yes you can. To do it right you will need an adapter to go to the larger size of an optical drive. Check on ebay and it shouldn't be to much. You could also screw it to one side of the drive bay and use a wooden or plastic spacer under the ssd ,but it will only be held on one side.

Yes, you can. Most general external drives should do. I have an LG. HP also makes them.

No, Thermaltake case is designed for the physical dimensions of a SATA hard drive. The optical drive case is much too large to fit.

If u get the model with no optical drive then no. But u can attach external drive

Yes it is "compatible". You will need a holder for it if you want to put it where the optical drive is (that is what I did on my Macbook). As to compatibility, there really are no issues (other than how much it can hold - I bought a 256 gig and it is fine - but 512 gig is better).

this case has 5 5.25 inch bays in it, meaning that it could support 5 optical drives if you really wanted it to. You could also have a drawer, a usb hub, a card reader, and an upgraded fan controller if you wanted it. I highly recommend buying it.

yes..it is a typical ATX case, therefore you can put in 2 optical drives a floppy, or media card reader and something like 6 hard drives (although they would be quite close together)

Yes. It has 6 SATA connectors. One for your optical drive, 5 for your hard drive. Or if you no longer wanna use your optical drive, have 6 hard drives.

No this internal drive is for a tower system with a SATA port. you will most likely need a USB external optical drive.
