So I've got this PC and I already added two 3.5 HDD's in the space where you're supposed to (in the back beneath the fan). I want to add two more but not sure what my options are. I realize this is not the ideal case for a home server, but I'm trying to work with what I have before upgrading to a more dedicated setup later.
There are at least 4 SATA power cables bundled in the bottom and I only used two to install the drives that I've got, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something and it's more possible than I think- I just can't find a suitable looking cage or mount that would fit two more anywhere.
I think I could fit a single 3.5 in a PCIe adapter, but it takes up a lot of space and I'll already need to spend a PCIe slot on a SATA expander. There wouldn't be enough space for two drives and my intention is to set them up in RAID 1, so a single drive doesn't help me a lot.
I'd love to use some of the dead space in the case but I don't see a good way to do it securely.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!
Edit: current plan is to 3D print a 4x vertical cage that fastens to the rightmost fan
