I had a two case setup for awhile. One case had my motherboard and controller cards and power supply and the other case had all my hdds including one rack inside. I bought some long sas and data cables to connect the two cases. I eventually built an open air case using wire racks and plywood.

Hi, it can hold four 3.5" HDDs or 4 2.5"HDDs converted to fit the 3.5" bays. And if you do not plan using the CDROM bay, you can use that area to place an extra 3.5 HDD. This case has plenty of space, I love it.

yes..it is a typical ATX case, therefore you can put in 2 optical drives a floppy, or media card reader and something like 6 hard drives (although they would be quite close together)

There are (5) Sata-3.0, 6gb. connections available. And it is possible to have (5) 3.5 hard-drives.

It's been awhile since I put my together... I currently have one SSD as the OS Drive, one 3.5 data drive and if I remember correctly it's using up all the space on that mount. There is a 5.25 bay which I'm using for a Blu-Ray drive, but I'd imagine you could get something like a 3.5 to 5.25 adapter and get your 3rd drive in there that way. Page 3 in the manual (6 on the PDF) will give you a better idea of how the insides are laid out: http://www.silverstonetek.com.tw/downloads/Manual/case/Multi-GD05-Manual.pdf

Yes. This is for a desktop case where you would normally have 1 3.5 inch hard drive. You can put two SSD hard drives in place of 1 3.5 inch drive.

The manual doesn't say. I used a 1TB drive and it worked fine. You can add 2 external drives, but no mention of size limit there. You can map it as a network drive, so you can move content back and forth that way, but slower ofc.

The reseller kit has additional parts and is cheaper. I have bought packs of 20 drives as drive only before, they usually have a fitted case with 20 drives per case. The bare drive is often cheaper (not the case here). This packing configuration is convenient if you are replacing a bunch of drives.

Do a google search for that. I doubt you can mount a second hard drive in there, but I'm not sure.

Kevin , I use the case to protect 2.5 note book hard drives. Some of the drives are 500 gb. They may be referring to the heat build up on drives larger than 160gb or the USB interface that comes with the Sanory. That is a good question that I have not thought about because I use it by removing the drive And cone ting with a ASW-USB-25 that is sold Amazon.

3 i think although one may not have cables necessary to use it. I'm usjng 2 internal drives and half a dozen externals

The case ships with all hardware to mount the 9 drives. You will need a 2000 watt power supply to run drives.This would be very expensive.

If you have the sw for it. I am using 4 different size drives, the largest being 2 tb the smallest being 250 gb. I can access any drive or multiple drives through through the usb port.

It holds two hard drives at a time. It can be used with 3.5" desktop hard drives or 2.5 laptop hard drives.
