Hello

Opening the case there are the slots for the hard drives.  I have three inserted there.

I noticed that in front of the case there is the CD optical drive. If I pop away the front panel there is space there that could hold

additional hard drives.

I would want to add additional hard drives as I need disc space. 

Is there a  mounting bracket the is available that will fit into the upper area? 

 

Let me know if there are options.

Thanks!

@parvardigar1 -- yes, there are simple metal trays that are the width of the CD/DVD drive-bay, that also have flanges to hold a 3.5-inch disk-drive, or a 2.5-inch SSD device.

 

Example, for under $5:  Heretom New 5.25" To 3.5" 2.5" Tray Bracket Mounting Cooling Fan HDD Adapter SSD Hard Drive w/screws...
