The external 3 ½” bay is not targeted to floppy disk drives but to 3 ½” hard disk drives or solid state drives (SSD’s): it comes with hot swap connectors (see Figure 13). The cover for this external bay is in fact a door with a spring, which you can easily push down while installing a drive. When a drive is installed on this bay, around ½” (1 cm) of the front part of the drive is kept outside the case. To remove the drive, you must first press a release button available on the front panel.
