Everyone here is correct. You can use a full length graphics card with the drive bays full. I currently have a gtx580 4gb right up next to the hdds. Wiring is tight, but its do able.

Has anyone actually successfully converted one of the 5.25 bays to 3.5 for a hard drive? I have 9 hard drives and want to see if this would actually fit them all. Thanks

2x 5.25" optical bay that can be converted to hold 3.5" HDDs with brackets internally. 2x 2.5" flat above it, and finally 10x 2.5" vertical, or those same positions can hold 7x 3.5" with airflow inbetween.

8 x 3.5", although using all of them prevents you from using a full length graphics card. You can also mount 2 x 2.5" HDDs as well.

There are screw holes available on the normal HDD mounting brackets. There is also a place on the MB mounting tray to install a SDD.

There are 4 main drive bays and 2 internal bays for ZIL and L2ARC upgrades. You need your own power and Sata cables. The routing of the cables is Very Tight!!! I put 2 Solid state drives there and it worked great.Hope this helps

Any SATA drives will work, but I would recommend using the same drives in both bays.

It has 4 bays and can be purchased with up to 4 hard drives. Mine is equipped with one hard drive and one disc drive.

You can have those, and many more! There is space for 3 HDDs, 2 SSDs, and 2 ODDs.

Yes, I use only two bays right now for my business. It's designed for this. I had a ReadyNAS before and this is 1000x better.

There are 4 quick removal and you can use the top 5.25 bay with an adaptor to give you 5 total. I'm running 2TB drives for my NAS, so I can't speak to bigger drives. I would suggest low power drives if you run 5 drives for thermal reasons.

I don't know. The most I have used in mine is 2 1.5 TH Seagate hard drives.

Currently I have 2 Sata and 1 SS drive in it, still room for more. One thing though pickup a few 90 deg connectors as the case doesn't close properly if you use the regular connections for your Sata drives.

You can start with two drives and expand it as you get more drives. Furthermore if all bays are full then you can replace older smaller drives with bigger newer drives without losing any data.

No, there are only three external 5.25 bays. You would need to convert one of them.

I have 3TB and 4TB drives in there. They are just straight pass throughs for the most part, depends more on the BIOS of your motherboard.

The unit I purchased came with a 500GB HDD. I don't know if it's offered with other options.
