How many 3.5" hard drives will fit in this case with an optical drive installed? I need 2 3.5" drives and 2 2.5" drives

There is a 5.25 bay for your optical drive. There is a 2.5 spot on the bottom of the case in front of the psu. Then there are 2 bays that will hold a 3.5 drive (or two 2.5 drives each). So you will be short a 2.5 bay. There is a lot of space though so you might be able to rig something up for a tiny 2.5 drive.

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.

Almost all cases don't include optical drives, this one included. It does have a couple bays that you can mount optical drives to, however.

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.

On the front of the case, lower left is the spot for 2 optical drives. On the right is the space for the 2 hot swap drives

Greetings, Thank you for your question. The case in this system support up to two storage devices (with extra bracket). It supports 1 x 2.5" HDD or SSD (without bracket); installation of a 2nd hard drive or SSD requires the addition of an extra bracket (not included). The bracket can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007HEN2W0 Thank You. Kind Regards, MITXPC

Two. One 200mm mounted in the front below the disk drives and one 140mm in the rear standard mount. But 6 more fans can be used in this case.

NOThis unit is designed to host 3 x 3.5" drives in the same space as it would take to put 2 optical drives or 2 x 5.25" floppy drives (no longer in use but still the original reason for the space requirement).Furthermore, I would NOT recommend this unit because it requires the use of "trays" in which the hard drives must be mounted before they can be used. If you should, in the future, decide to use a "hot-swappable" method for accessing hard drives, find one that is "trayless."

I'm going to answer this assuming you know you can repurpose slots (IE: get a kit to mount a 3.5" drive in a DVD slot, mount an SSD on the 3.5" drive sleds, etc). SSD: 2 1TB HD (assuming 3.5" form factor): 3 DVD drive: 2 So yes, 2 SSDs, a 1TB drive (even if it's 2.5", as there are mounting screws to attach a 2.5" drive to a 3.5" sled), and a DVD drive will all fit in this case.

Dear Huston Family: Unfortunately, I purchased this case for future use and do not have the details available to me at the moment to answer your question. However, I have built dozens of computers and generally with the latest and greatest capabilities including the wiring and peripheral slots for this and that. I promise you that I would not have purchased this case unless it provided at least 3 optical drive bays for use. I hope this helps. Also, you may want to look up this particular model case on google search and seek out the features if Amazon doesn't provide them. All you'll need is the manufacturer's model number and it should pop right up. Look for specifications and it's all there.

Yes it has 3 places to put your optical disk drive at the top front of the case like most cases. If youre referring to hard disk drives/solid state drives, there are many places inside the case for them. No optical drives or hard disk drives are included with the case.

I just measured my SSD and it measures 2.75 inches I don't know of any hard drives that measure three inches, only 2.75 and 5.25 drives. make sure that you are measuring the drive bare and not with the drive enclosure around it, make sure that you measure its width and not the length. I hope this helps, but your drive will not fit if it measures out to 3.00 inches in width.

Yes. This is for a desktop case where you would normally have 1 3.5 inch hard drive. You can put two SSD hard drives in place of 1 3.5 inch drive.

This case will hold any 3.5 inch drive including blu ray drive. I am using this case for a blu ray burner and am having no problems with it. Because the read and write speed of the burner is slower than either usb3 or sata it shouldn't matter.

There is plenty of space inside for Optical Drive and HDD. You may have to remove some screws and a cover for the Optical Drive but there appears to be plenty of space for both. I just added RAM memory so I did have the cover off and and got a good inside view.

Yep. There is a mount at the bottom of the case that will take a 2.5 or 3.5 inch drive. You can also get adapters to put a 2.5 in any 3.5 slot. Specifically on this case, you may want to watch this quick unboxing and feature review video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qJutw4eyvJ4

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.
