Case and Hard Drive Issue

[nicholasarthur1]

So I have a case and my hard drive which is your standard hard drive is so big that it covers up my ram slots. I can currently put only one stick of ram in the computer and I would like to put more into it. I do have it pushed up as far as it will let me so I can at least put in one stick of ram. Also I would like to upgrade my storage on my computer to a 1tb ssd and was wondering what type of ssd I should get that isn't very expensive.

I also know cable management is horrible one day going to fix this whole entire issue because of better airflow

Suppose you could move the drive somewhere else. Or you could get an entirely new case if your motherboard isn't proprietary.

Well the ironwolfs are HDD's, not SSD's- unless you were referencing the wildly overpriced ones.

 

If you want a 1TB SSD, the crucial P1 is a good choice.
