Question How many storage drives can fit in the HP Elitedesk 800 G2 Tower ?

[Nightworker31]

I see that the mobo has 5 sata connectors, but I only see 3 physical spaces for storage drives.

I don't need the optical drive, and would need to install 4 other drives (mostly all ssds)

What am I missing?

It's likely HP uses the same motherboard for multiple versions of the same general product.

You can put 2 ssd's in one storage space.

Wanted to do a little update on this.

I bought two of the things you linked, but for goodness sake.. first they seem too big to fit in the proper space in the tower, second... the holes for where the screws are supposed to go (green grommets screws) are too small.... *sighs*
