Adding 3.5 hdd drive internal storage help

[GlennC]

Hi new here :)

i have looked all over amazon for a solution to add storage for my pc internally for say another 2 3.5 hdd drives, do you think i can find anything at all NO probably because I dont know the term im searching for.

Can anyone point me in the right cheap direction.

thanks

I dont get the question..

 

As long as your motherboard has enuf sata port for the hdd, and u have the hdd with the data/sata cable and sata power cable (which is from the power supply) all u need to do is to connect them.

yes sorry thats probably why i cannot find it too because the search cannot understand my question lol

i have additional 3.5 hdd which i wish to add to my rig but no spare internal bays to dock them in

my rig can hold x2 3.5 hdd, x2 ssd and another x1 ssd or 2.5hdd

i want to add storage for more say about another 2 hdd, i have the ports or will add the ports if required via my micro pcie or spare pcie card slot

i currently have x1 ssd as boot drive for windows, x1 2tb hdd for file storage and then i have x1 1.5hdd and a 500gb hdd in raid as another drive, so ill be adding these drives to my raid. i currently just have the 500gb hdd tooked away in the front of the case lol

did that help at all

Owh...so ur case didnt have any space left to add another hdd? 

 

Well you could buy a new case or hdd docking like this one so u can use it externally https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Dual-Bay-Docking-Function-FD2002/dp/B00N1KXE9K?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_3

 

It can also support 2.5.

thank however thats the thing it must be internal as you cannot use raid on usb which what external will do has to be the internal usb ports, well at least thats how it is with windows 10 inbuilt raid
