Can not install HDD into Silverstone RVZ02, please help!

[Daniel_355]

Please, help me!

How am I able to install a 3.5 basic hdd (WD Caviar Blue 1TB) into this case? I am done with literally everyting, except this. I have a XFX Triple X RX470 4GB GPU for your reference.

Please, tell me detailed how should I do it, as I have not found anything considering this, only people writing we are able to do it next to the gpu, or instead of a blu-ray drive...

I am looking forwar for your help ASAP,
Thank you all!

This being a really small and slim case, your options are pretty limited.

The user manual states:
Drive Bay
Internal
2.5” x 2
(one additional 3.5” or 2.5” space depending on expansion card installed)

Possibly your GPU is conflicting with the space where a 3.5" HDD might go.

Thank you!

Your graphics card is 240mm long.
The provision for a 3.5" drive is only good if your graphics card is 200mm long or less.

Presumably it would go to the left of this little GPU

As your 240mm GPU impinges into this space, you are pretty much out of luck.

Since the bluray drive space is a slim one, that is not a possible location either.

Some options:

1. You can buy a 1tb 2.5" drives and return the wd drive.

2. You can buy an external usb enclosure for the 3.5" drive.

3. Return the RX-470 in favor of a GTX1060 which can be as small as 170mm.

4. buy a 1tb ssd to hold everything.
