[@eddykaye8217]

It's funny watching the videos on this computer, because I bought one and have upgraded a few things, and everybody does more than they have to. For example, all of the videos showing you where the ram is located on the motherboard, everybody removes the black grate and the hard drive holder, when you can simply just put the ram in without removing anything. Same goes for this Hard Drive. You don't have to remove anything, you can simply slide the hard drive in, plug it in, and put the two screws in the side that's not facing the case

[@luxdiaboli]

Hello, Thanks for your very helpful video! If I want to install 2 hard drive instead of one, do I have to buy a bigger bracket with two slots, right?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. I don't think you can buy bigger bracket for two slots.

[@rydoggo]

you'll likely have to screw it to the black metal cage, don't quote me on that, but that's what I would do.

[@lumiereeclair]

You can actually install up to 3 hard drives on this machine. Two 3.5 and a 2.5 exactly. Of course you can interchange the 3.5 for 2.5 drives as well. For placement, as shown in the video you can mount one 3.5 inch drive on the silver cage, however you can also mount a 2.5 hard drive on the underside of that cage as well. If you look at 3:07 there are 3 screw holes spaced just right for a 2.5 drive. The 2nd 3.5 inch hard drive can be mounted behind the front panel on the chasis. It doesn't show it on the video, but after you remove the side panel, take a close look at where the torx screw that secures the silver cage is. Below that you should see holes that will allow you to mount a 3.5 inch hard drive perfectly. So you don't have to buy a bracket, you will however need a Y splitter cable for Sata power since there are only 2 sata power connectors and you'll need one more for 3 hard drives. Also if you really want to go overkill, you can buy a PCIe x1 NVMe M.2 expansion card. It will allow you to mount a M.2 NVMe drive. It'll only run at PCIe x1 speed, but if you're not using that PCIe slot, then that's a good option to go for.

[@stephenhepworth3113]

mine came with a 1Tb drive screwed to the front ( inside obviously) below the hard drive holder bracket! luckily i have a spare 2Tb drive sat about waiting for a computer with an empty bracket to fill 😉👍

[@williamfernihough4034]

After watching this video, which is exactly how the job should be done, I changed drives three times, rescuing old drives from a computer that I scrapped. Had three drives in the old computer, one was bad, the other two were good, and using the Sata connection made the job easier. Now, this video shows how to install one more drive in the supplied drive cage. And the video mentions that you can add a third drive, as the connections are there. But where do you get a drive cage that holds both the drives? Or is there another way to do it? I would like to have two additional drives in this computer. The UberGeeks comment below, I interpret as to meaning you can use the supplied drive for one more hard drive, but I want to have two more hard drives.

[@eltonnoway7864]

Not sure if you saw the comment below by lumiereeclair.. but... he states: You can actually install up to 3 hard drives on this machine. Two 3.5 and one 2.5 exactly. (Of course you can interchange the 3.5 drives for 2.5 drives as well.) For placement, as shown in the video, you can mount one 3.5 inch drive on the silver cage, however you can also mount a 2.5 hard drive on the underside of this same cage.. How? Just pause the video at 3:0. You will see 3 screw holes spaced around the rectangular opening that are spaced just just right for a 2.5 drive. To install the second 3.5 inch hard drive it can be mounted just behind the front panel on the chassis. He doesn't show it on the video, but after you remove the side panel, take a close look at where the torx screw that secures the silver cage is. Below that you will see holes that will allow you to mount a 3.5 inch hard drive perfectly so you don't have to buy a bracket, but you will however need Y splitter cable for SATA power since there are only 2 SATA power connectors on the included cable and you'll need one more for 3 hard drives. Also if you really want to go overkill for even more storage... you can buy a PCIe x1 NVMe M.2 expansion card. This will allow you to mount a M.2 NVMe drive. NOTE: It will only run at PCIe x1 speed, but if you're not using that PCIe slot, then that's a good option to consider..

It seems there is room for just 1 HDD beside the C Drive (SSD M.2)... Is there a way to have 3 hard drives installed? SSD +2*HDD? It doesn't make sense to provides additional SATA connectors without providing housing for the 3rd Drive?

you can only hold 2 because it's not enough room for more
