Help needed with NZXT Phantom

[Benielishackove]

hey good people of Linus I have a question about the hdd\sdd mount could it be possible to mount a 2.5" under a 3.5" on the same mount in the 820 ?

[Benielishackove]

I meant that slider thingy bracket I think

I doubt any case has the space for a 3.5" AND a 2.5" in the same mount..

 

If it's an SSD, you could try just shoving it in there if there is space..

 

Don't take my word on it tho.

thank you I have asked this because in all the reviews I viewed Iv seen everybody say one or the other but when I looked at the case at the drive bays I see there is space for x2 on 1 bracket + u can see the screw holes from the bottom so the 3.5 on top with the tool less lock on the bracket and the 2.5 underneath it the question is did my eyes deceived me ?

Best way would be to ask someone who owns one to test it for you or to test it yourself..

I didn't open the box of the case yet still not building it (I did when I got it to incept any damage from shipping thanks to Linus's review then taped it up and its a sleep so "silence or I KILL you" achmed the dead terrorist quote (comedy)  don't mean any thing by it and don't mean to offend any body

@Benielishackove I just tried it. No, two of the screws hit the PCB of the hard drive, and that could possibly cause a short circuit. 

 

Why don't you just install the SSD in a different hard drive rack?

Well keep in mind that SSDs can go anywhere, as they're solid state. They don't have to be mounted to anything.

Yeah. Tape it to the back of the mobo plate if you want to.

Don't use Glue   otherwise you won't be able to remove it. Have a look for some double sided tape or velcro etc.

I was thinking you were going to use Superglue  :lol: If that glue comes off easy then it will be fine.
