[SOLVED] Question for owners of the O11D XL: Space for a 3.5" drive?

[pmjm]

Hi all,

Before I go drop $200+ on an O11D XL, could anyone please confirm whether or not an internal 3.5" drive (like a floppy drive) would fit in the drive bays in the back of the case?

I have a proprietary memory card reader in that form factor that needs to be connected to the USB 3.2 Gen 2 header on the motherboard, so I need to find a way to mount it. Unfortunately the other cases on the market that have bays for such drives are ancient and lacking in many of the other features I need, like front USB-C and glass side panels, so I really have my heart set on the O11D XL.

Thanks in advance

Yes it will fit but it is not setup to work with anything but a sata drive.
You will need to work out power and USB cabling as well as adapting the drive tray to fit the card reader.
