Silverstone SG13B

[Tractorman990]

Hi I am considering building a mini itx rig and i want to use the Silverstone SG13B but i want more than 1 TB of hard drive space so i was wondering is the case able to fit say a 2 or 3 TB hard drive.

The case can fit a single 3.5" HDD, so you can put any capacity you'd like. Keep in mind that this removes two of the 2.5" drive mounts, however there is one more in front of the motherboard underneath where the GPU would sit.

 

It's an excellent case, definitely worth the mere $40. This one I have now is my first SG13 but I've had two SG05s before that, which is the predecessor to the SG13.

Sweet i was just curious because i know a 3TB hard drive is thicker than a 1TB and i couldnt tell by looking on at the picture so would the hdd go on the bottom instead of the top then where the ssd;s would go

It's fine. 3.5" HDDs can only be so thick anyways.

Yes, it goes under the plate just like the SSDs but it takes up more space.

When you put everything together, you'll quickly find out that there will be a specific way everything needs to go in. You miss a step, and you're either going to have a hell of time trying to do it or you're going to have to pull everything out. Just keep that in mind.

 

Also the panel cover can be a bit tricky to put back on, just mess around with it for a minute or two and it should go back on. Also be sure to not misthread anything, stuff tends to do that on this case.
