Hi, my computer is a few years old now, so I thought it could use some upgrades, the biggest issue I am having with my computer is that space is now limited and hard to control my current hard drives are seagates... so I just bought 2 new hard drives, one is WD 2TB and the other is 4 TB, I would like to fit this in with the sea gates, I do have 2 free sata ports left, and would like to know if its possible to fit 2 new hard drives in with the sea gates.

if you have 2 free sata ports and 2 free sata power connectors and 2 free 3.5in drive bays, then the answer is yes. The only other possible consideration is power- assuming you are not running a powerful discrete video card on a low (300-350W) power PSU, you should be fine- think 20W per drive in additional load and that's 20W during initial start up.

Those bays aren't neccesairy. And that's 60W extra, not a big deal

I have 750 PSU, only thing that concerns me is, my computer came with 2 mounting bays... I was going to just secure the other 2 hard drives with screws.. but there's only 1 hole for screws and not on the other side.
