Can I put my HDD in this case

[GFuelBoi]

So my HDD is 2.5 inches, but is there any way I can put it in my 3.5 inch internal drive bay?

 

Hard Drive: Western Digital 1 TB HDD

 

Case: RAIDMAX VIPER

Most motherboard 3.5inch bays have screwmounts for both 3.5inch and 2.5inch hdds/ssds.

From Raidmax viper 2 site, so it seems that you can use your 2.5inch hdd fine in the case:

But will the case 3.5 inch bays also have screwmounts for both 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch hdds?

 

(probably sound like a retard, making my first pc :P)

Taken from Raidmax Viper 2 site, the hdd mounts support both sizes:

You can get an adapter, look for the corsair one.

Even better. Either way you can mount your 2.5inch hdd.

But making a 3.5inch bay compatible with 2.5inch drives is so easy, that i havent seen a single 3.5inch bay that doesnt support 2.5inch drives.

Says there are 3 internal 3.5in bays, 3 external 5.25in bays

Wait, on the specs for the case, it says on the front page that it has 3 3.5in internal bays, but scrolling down, there are another 3 2.5in internal bays...

Most cases have 3x 3.5 inch bays(they also work with 2,5inch drives) and 3x 2.5inch only mounts.

Your case does not have "HDD trays" which would normally come with 2.5" holes in the 3.5" drives. Instead it has it's own dedicated spot for them

Thanks for correcting me on that, I did not see the 3x 3.5" bays were for SSD
