Is this hard drive cage is compatible with my Corsair 500D case?

[Elven]

Greetings all,

 

I believe my hard drives are close to the end of their life and I need to replace them. I've been pondering the thought of running 4 Hard drives in raid 10 in my Corsair Obsidian 500D case, however the case only supports 2 3.5" hard drives natively (on the back side).

 

I did some googling and found on Corsair's site that they sell additional hard drive cages for many of their cases, but it doesn't mention that the 500D is compatible, despite saying that this particular cage supports the (Obsidian 450D, 650D, 750D).

 

Do you think it would be compatible with the 500D?

 

Here's the link to the hard drive cage in question:

 

HDD upgrade kit with 3x hard drive trays and secondary hard drive cage parts (Graphite 600T, 730T, 760T, 780T) (Obsidian 450D, 650D, 750D)

 

Thanks in advance!

The 500D doesnt come with HDD cages, so there's nowhere for that to mount. That Cage is not compatible with the case you have. 

Are you sure they didnt mean purchase of additional 2.5" SSD trays instead? I dont see anywhere they Corsair states additional 3.5" HDD locations can be added.

@Elven - 500D won't be compatible with the cages you referenced.  There are no mounting locations under the PSU shroud, or in the front section of the case for an additional cage.  If you plan to go with SSD's for RAID, then you have some options like the following to increase your 2.5" drive count:
