Room for another SSD?

Hey everyone,

 

Can I add another SSD to my PC? I think I remember hearing someone tell me that I don't have any more room to add one, but I'm not positive.

 

Case: Corsair 760t

Current Storage: Samsung 850 EVO (500GB) and Seagate Barricuda (2TB)

 

If not, maybe I could scrap my HD and then I would have room for another SSD?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

You can add as many drives as you have SATA ports.

 

No more places to put an SSD in your case? Duct tape it to an obscure spot and route the cables through.

There is always room for ssd's, you could always get double sided duct tape and tape it to your case near your cable managment area.
