    i have a plan add one more SATA HDD (1TB)in my pc with Zeb Bloom cabinet.
    Yesterday i found that after opening the cabinet first time, there is no space for another HDD.
    But it has free bay for one dvd and floppy drive.
    There is a space below existing HDD but no provision for some sort of locking mechanism.

    Is there any way to fix HDD in space provided for DVD drive?

    What can i do?

    in the bottom,it may have screw holes to screw the drive in.
    if it's to wide,it may need the quick release things screwed in the drive.

    to screw to into the dvd bay you'll need 3.5" to 5.25" hard drive mounting brackets.
    or you can just lay it upside down as it is on top of the dvd drive. :)

    Maybe it's time to upgrade to a better case that has more slots available. Next month you may want to add something else and have 0 options other than cutting the case :(

    Best option is you can upgarde your Cabinet it will not cost so much another option that you can use external SATA hdd which you can connect through USB to store your unusable personal data into it.

    Thanks
