This is a question about my future build, I like to plan ahead so I thought I'd find out peoples' thoughts on this before I build.
I'll be getting the Corsair Obsidian 450D case, and I'll also be using a single SSD, and a single HDD. The 3.5" drive cage can be completely removed to allow for better airflow, and the SSD can be mounted on the back of the motherboard tray.
So I was wondering, would it be worth mounting the HDD in one of the 5.25" bays (using an adapter of course) Or would the slight gain in performance not really be worth it?
I'm guessing the HDD won't get too hot in the 5.25" bay, since the SSD should be fine behind the motherboard tray with practically no airflow. I wouldn't be using the 5.25" bays for anything else.
Thanks in advance for the advice
