Meshify C SSD Options

Gas Station Sushi

I have my case choice for my new build narrowed down to two options.

Either the Fractal Meshify C TG in White, or the NZXT H500 in White.

I really like the way the Meshify looks vs the H500.

But I really like the way you can mount two SSD's on top of the PSU shroud of the H500.

My question is: Are there any other SSD mounting options on the Meshify C other than the bracket on the back of the motherboard? I really don't like this option as the SSD's I have chosen really need to be seen. 

TIA for any insight!

You can mount your SSDs in the HDD bay. I have both of my 2.5" drives in the HDD drive bay at the front of my Meshify C.

Get the Meshify C my dude. I have one in white and it's beautiful.

You happen to have a pic showing how you have yours mounted?

Also, I don't have a picture and I'm too lazy to crack open my case. And my drives are not even mounted, they're just laying in the 3.5" drive bays since I was too lazy to screw them in.

 

Basically, there are 2.5" drive mounting holes on the 3.5" drive caddies so you can put either 2.5" or 3.5" drives in them.

Well the meshify c doesn't have holes to mount SSDs on the shroud, but it sounds like a job a little double-sided tape would make light work of.

Right. I was wondering if there was another spot to mount them other than the bracket on the back. And I'm thinking not.

Good idea, and something I will look into if I don't switch to the NZXT H500...unless there's some other nice white cases out there I have overlooked.

Understood as well! Thanks for the replies!
