What internal disc drive would you recommend for this case?

I'm using a Samsung 830 SSD in mine. I cant remember if I've also got a mechanical 2.5" in there too. It should take 2 of any SSD or 2.5" mechanical hard drive (search for laptop internal drives).These are very fiddly to build and hard to manage the cables inside, very little space inside so take your time. I broke the external USB 3 connection when I built mine because its tricky.

I used a Corsair 60 GB Force Series 3 SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive - CSSD-F60GB3A-BK with mine.

I used a Western Digital Scorpio drive, but any laptop drive (2.5" size) should work.

SanDisk ReadyCache SDSSDRC-032G-G26 2.5" 32GB SATA III or Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD).

I typically use a Samsung SN-208DB, but you could use any standard slim SATA optical drive.

Well, Just for my self, I would do an LG BT30N + a Silverstone FP37B + an SK41202 adapter to put them in. You get a very good Blu-Ray burner, a card reader, & an adapter with all of the mounting screws & wires to connect them. Or a full size DVD burner or Blu-Ray burner (shortest one made) depending on your budget. Only if you can remove the existing plate to have a full 5.25 opening. If the plate is not removable, I would just install the LG BT-30N.

Anything with a sata connection. I found ide to be too difficult to get working in the tiny ccase.I was able to salvage a bdrom drive out of my old laptop, and it works perfectly zip - tied in. Not flush but or doesn't really matter since it isn't visible at all unless you're puttinga disc in.

Amazon is your best bet for selection and price for an internal hard drive. Just make sure it has the right SATA connectors for your DVR

We do not have any specific drives to recommend we suggest you search under the following categories online, "slot load optical drives"

Yup. It obviously only takes slim, drawerless drives. You can see the slit in the front of the case. Warning from experience, I would not suggest this. The case is pretty cramped, sacrificing function for form it seemed, thus leading to some clearance issues with that giant bracket which ONLY gains you a disc reader. My experience with out a disc reader has been ok thus far, and since its the way the markets moving you might as well ditch it and get it over with.

I would go with the Seagate 1TB for the price. More space the better, and it is a very good price. I love Seagate drives, plus their DiscWizard in a great program.

Its an internal drive. It comes with brackets to screw it on inside the computer case.

get the Vantec 2.5 SATA kit which comes with a case. The kit is onlly 7 or 8 dollars. You can use the SATA connector to clone your original drive and house it afterwards.

recommends at least 400. I have a 500 but I'm running several drives. 300 might be OK if u only have one HD and a CD drive

I bought 4 of these: Seagate 1TB Laptop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 8MB Cache 2.5-Inch Internal Drive Retail Kit (STBD1000100) They were on-sale at the time for $69. You should be able to find something with equivalent stats for around that price.

Any blu ray drive will work, there is an aluminum cover that comes with the case that attaches to the front of the drive, to flush it up with the front of the case.

Any drive should work. Just check the depth. The biggest issue is going to routing the cables if the drive is too deep. Also if you use the drive you sacrifice one hdd. That is assuming full atx is install (that is how I have it)

Any disc/disk...very well. I purchased the hand crank operated model, but there is a motorized version that works extremely well.
