So I have just bought a new computer in an Fractual Design Focus G Case.
http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/focus-series/focus-g
Drives I have
1x SSD 500GB (new)
1x SSD 128 GB (old)
1x HDD 2TB (old)
Issue 1
I have just noticed when I wanted to installed my old SSD and HDD is that there is insufficient space to install them (the case's hard drive racket can only support 2 drives).
Issue 2
When I install my old HDD into the said racket, the wires prevent me from closing the non-glass panel / right panel (assuming you are looking at the back of the comp). Or rather the cables seems to be squished up which isn't something I like.
So I want to install all 3 drives and I'm wondering what are my options?
Option 1
I've read the user guide and there seems to be a optional space to install 1x 2.5" drive at the back "behind" the PSU
I could then install 1x SDD and 1x HDD into the racket but there issue still remain of not closing the panel
Option 2
Install 2x SSD into the said racket and install the 1x HDD on top of the said rack but I don't know how to "mount it" or secure it so it won't move.
Option 3
Go back to the retailer and see if I can swap a new case or buy a new case.
Option 4
Make the HDD into an external drive - don't like this option as I prefer to connect it internally via SATA cables.
