    How to install internal hard disk in this case?


    Hi,

    I have this Neotez deus case and the specs say can install one internal 3.5 inch hard disk and four internal 2.5 hard disk. The manual does not teach how to install them. I guess it would be similar to other cases so I hope someone can teach me how/where to install internal hard disk.

    Q1. How to install one internal 3.5 inch hard disk?

    Q2. How to install one internal 3.5 inch hard disk and one internal 2.5 hard disk?

    Q3. How to install one internal 3.5 inch hard disk and four internal 2.5 hard disk?

    Case configurations vary widely. That link shows very little. Since you already have it, take a few pics of the inside and any seperate parts that were included and post them here.

    I recently placed in my parts bin a 2.5" adapter for use in 3.5" drive bays "just in case" I need it.
    2.5" to 3.5" at DuckDuckGo
    It would appear that case can handle at least 2 drives but it is an mATX [microATX] which is larger than an SFF/Small Form Factor which usually can hold only one HDD, both of mine also have an ODD in them. For additional drives I use self-powered USB-connected drives attached to a USB 3 switchable Hub connected to the Desktop. There's also USB cases for the 2.5" drives that work the same, mine don't need the extra power adapter, just USB 3 ports.

    This clip of your images shows a total of 5 drives possible, 1 3.5" and up to 4 2.5". But in the other images I don't see any rails or cradle for holding all of them being included and only 2 data cables hanging out.

    There is a small front bottom hard disk bracket near the front bottom fan, can be seen at Photos taken from the back panel (non glass) side View: Imgur: The magic of the Internet can this hold a 3.5" on top and a 2.5" below? Is there any hard disk bracket that I can replace there so it can hold two 3.5"?

    Only 2 data cables are attached to the motherboard at this moment, more can be added later.

    If the company builds like others, especially OEMs, they should have accessories for doing that. But then I can't tell where 4 x 2.5" drives would fit.

    Edit: This wouldn't post earlier:

    This is the insides of my Dell Precision T1650, has 2 places in a cage at the bottom right with blue plastic mounts for the 3.5" HDDs and 2 places at the top for ODDs.
