| Installing Hard Disk Drives |
This case has five external 5 ¼” bays, two external 3 ½” bays for floppy disk drives and three internal 3 ½” bays for hard disk drives, all of them using 100% screwless mechanisms to hold the drives (on some cases, like Thermaltake M9, you still need to use screws on their “screwless” mechanism). Unfortunately the floppy disk drive bays cannot be used by hard disk drives (we tried, they don’t fit), so you can only have up to three hard disk drives with this case, being its greatest disadvantage. Even though the number of bays is sufficient for average users, we think the manufacturer should have added a fourth hard disk drive bay sacrificing one of the 5 ¼” bays – who needs five 5 ¼” bays anyway?
As you could see on Figure 13 on previous page, the hard disk drive cage containing the three HDD bays are 90º rotated in relation to the other bays. Installing the hard disk drives is very easy. The case comes with six rulers and each hard disk drive should use two of them, one at each side of the drive, as you can see on the pictures below.  click to enlarge Figure 14: Rulers for hard disk drive installation.
