The Disk Drive Bays

Corsair 800D has five 5 ¼” bays, all featuring screwless mechanisms, and six 3 1/2" bays for hard disk drives. Four of them feature hot-swap connectors, meaning that you don’t need to install any kind of cable to your hard drive: just install each drive inside a drawer and lock the drawer in place (of course you must connect the hot swap connectors available inside the case to your motherboard and power supply). All the four hot-swap bays from Corsair 800D also support 2 1/2" devices, which is terrific, allowing you to easily install SSDs.

The hot-swappable bays are opened from the front panel and as shown before there is a 140 mm fan to cool down the hard drives installed on them.

The other two hard drive bays are available on the bottom part of the case and they can be accessed by removing the front panel. You have the option to install a 120 mm fan to cool hard drives installed on these bays.
