So I am ordering my new build and I really don't want any 3.25" HDD in my new PC so I can remove the bays and put in rad.  I won't run into any trouble just using a 2.5" HDD and mounting it in the SSD cage provided in the 750D ?  For those that don't know the 750D there are 2.5" drive bays all down the side, I think it holds 4.  So I am just getting a 1TB 2.5" HDD and a 250gb SSD which will be plenty space till I want to upgrade. Just wanted to check one last time on here before I ordered to make sure I won't run into any issues.

It shouldn't be a problem, just make sure the drive you get fits in the holder, like @AlwaysFSX said.

 

For example, don't buy 15mm drives, they're for a different use case.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use, and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them. - Galileo Galilei
