Question regarding Corsair Obsidian 800D

[maresp5]

Seriously considering this case but would like to clarify something first. Does this case come with a 3.5 adapter plate for mounting a floppy drive in one of the external 5.25 drive bays?

The Corsair Obsidian 800D case comes with four external 3.5 inch drive bays hidden behind a door on the lower part of the front bezel. Unfortunately they are hot swappable drive bays. Each of the 4 hot swappable drive bays has a small circuit board behind it where you connect a SATA cable and a SATA power cable. The bays are not intended for use with floppy drives.

There is no adapter plate visible in the photo of the case which shows components and accessories.

Floppy drives are becoming obsolete. They are no longer required in modern systems.

It's not a deal breaker, just a little disappointing. The drive is a combination floppy/card reader I picked up a while back. I'm an avid photographer and use it quite extensively for uploading photos to my computer. Just seems a shame to leave a perfectly good and useful component out of the build is all.

I've got a 3.5 inch multi-card reader that I really like. I just use a simple inexpensive bay adapter. They are available from many online vendors.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll look into getting a bay adapter for it and see how it turns out.
