Are the hard drive cages able to have a mounted fan to it? Where can I buy more hard drive cages that will fit?

The cages themself don't have the ability unless you mod them. If you mount all of them in the smaller case, you will be able to put fans in the front and back of the cages. There are 3 total cages that come with the full case, two in the main one and one in the smaller one. All the hardware comes with it to mount them where ever you want. To get more of the hard drive cages would come from Cooler Master.

This unit does not come with a mounting bracket or screws. The mounting bracket is normally specific to whatever you are putting the hard drive in. For instance most laptops take a mounting bracket specific to that model. You will have to take the bracket off the old hard drive. Mike

I am assuming you mean "Solid State Drives". As far as hard drives go there are I think 4 3.5" bays and 1 2.5" spot on the bottom of the case.

It looks like there are slots for SATA 1.0 and SATA 2.0 with one being used by the currently installed hard drive. So there is an available slot to plug one in but I seriously doubt another internal hard drive would physically fit in the case. I would just add an external drive. I have two hooked up to mine :).

If you want to use it as an external drive, you can get an enclosure for it. Here's an example of what I mean: http://www.amazon.com/ORICO-2588US3-External-Enclosure-Support/dp/B00FYKRI9M/

I read somewhere that you need to have at least one hdd plugged into the hot swap bays in the front to get the front two fans working. Haven't tested that myself though because I've had an hdd in two of those slots since the start. You might just need to hook a power cable to the connectors on the hot swap bays inside the case.

It has four bays for hard drives. If it comes with two drives, and you want to have four in there, you will need to purchase two more. I bought mine with no drives but it came with all four bays. It was new when I bought it.

I'm sure it's internals use a proprietary drive but is a sealed unit and there isn't a lot of info out there on swapping out drives. There are other brands & models that are designed with removable cages that may be better suited

Unfortunately there is no 2.5" hard drive mounting configuration. However, you can pick up a 2.5 to 3.5" hard drive mounting bracket for about $4 on Amazon. Then you will be able to install a 2.5" Hard Drive into this In Win case. I love that case. It's made very well just lacking in a 2.5" drive bay.

There are two small fans (80mm) on the lower back part of the case that can be configured to blow air to or from the hard disk trays. In my setup I have installed two Noctuas NF-R8 redux-1200 and all my 4 HD's runs cool and quiet.

Hard drives are pretty standard with 4 treaded holes in the bottom and usualy come with screws. The ard drive holes line up with holes in te bottom of the case. The screws just go from outside the case into the threaded holes.

It comes with one top fan, 1 200mm red LED front fan (for HDD cage), 1 200mm top fan (an additional 200 mm fan can be added to the top), and 1 140mm rear fan . I added an additional top fan, a 200mm side fan and swapped out the red front LED fan for a Blue LED fan. All of these fans keep my system running cool. For instance, I am running an ASUS P6x58D Premium MB, core i7, 12 GB Patriot DDR3 Triple Channel RAM and have the following temps: MB: 106⁰ F I7 Processor: 114⁰ F, 6 Sata HDD running from 88 ⁰ F to 101⁰ F, 1 Toshiba SSD: 106⁰ F More specs on the case here: http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/haf-xm/ It comes with one top fan, 1 200mm red LED front fan (for HDD cage), 1 200mm top fan (an additional 200 mm fan can be added to the top), and 1 140mm rear fan .

Sorry I can't, my PC isn't really easily accessible but if you have room for optical drives you should have room for this. The fan is 25mm thick, and I'm not sure how thick the front bezel is but if you allow for 15mm (and a 3.5" HDD should be 146mm long) the overall length is about 186mm, or 7.3". That's probably cutting it real close for you, but if this doesn't fit you could get a 15mm thick fan and slide the drives forward a little.

Sorry for the late response. I bought the diskless enclosure so I am not sure which hard drives they come with.

There is an area above the power supply for drives. Deep enough for a 3.5" drive. And there are mounting holes. I did not, however, screw my drives in there so they are just resting. You can get a better idea on the Sentey website in the photo gallery for this case: http://www.sentey.com/en/ss5-2514

Yes there are screws that allow you to remove the drive bays. The airflow on this case is great. I have fans in every possible location. I have 9 drives in this case and no problems with anything overheating and the cable management is great. I recently put a 256 GB SSD in the hidden compartment on the right hand side.

You are correct, the pictures in the product description show 2 mounting brackets. Be advised, the case only comes with one mounting bracket. The single bracket may be moved to either side. The bracket will mount a laptop drive or cooling fans. Additional brackets may be purchased for around $7, see listing in "frequently bought together".
