Hello, I have a couple of questions, first off: do I need a 2.5 drive bay if I have this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133179 I was wondering because most people have one, but I don't. Another question is: to install the ssd , I have to unplug my hdd and install Windows on ssd, how do I get rid of all the files on my hdd including the Windows? Thanks and have a nice day

1) It says it has 4 SSD drives.

2) You can wipe the whole HDD from your settings on the PC. After you installed the OS on your HDD

Not really, it's easier to just install OS on SSD first (then maybe recover some important files from HDD ? if they aren't corrupted) and then wipe HDD
