HARD DRIVES FOR DAYS

In our build, we have both a 2.5-inch SSD and a 3.5-inch HDD. The SSD is for our operating system, because it has limited storage, but is incredibly fast, and the 1TB HDD is for everything else. To install the 3.5-inch hard drive, slide it into the caddy, as pictured here, with the ports facing out toward the back of the case. Then, simply use one of the included thumbscrews to secure it in place. The SSD slots into the top, and is secured by two small screws at the front. We decided to angle the ports, so they were facing the motherboard, to make it a little easier to run the cables later. You can also install the SATA data transfer cables now. You’ll find these in your motherboard box; they have L-shaped connectors. Connect one to each hard drive, then run it through the back of the case, and into one of the L-shaped ports on the motherboard.
