I'll be putting second HDD in my main system soon, a second Seagate Barracuda 80GB 7200.7 (which, I've hard, are quite hot). And I have typical Enlight case, photos of very similar are below.
As you can see there are 3 available mounting points for 3,5' devices, in the cage that can be deatached from the rest of the case. Right now I have in there FDD drive and HDD, separated by space in which 3rd device could go...but I have doubts that stacking two HDDs one on top of another would be good for their longevity. Simplest alternative would be to put FDD between harddrives, however I'm not sure if it would do any good in practice...
But...I have also place for four 5,1/4' devices, of which I use only 2, so I could place HDD in the lowest bay, using 3,5' -> 5,1/4' conversion kit (pictured below). Which brings its own doubts...as you see 5,1/4 devices are attached via rails, and the conversion kit is not one piece of metal, so...do you think some mechanical fathigue to hard drive is possible?
Probably not...I think I'll do it, just 2€ anyway and much better solution than neighbouring hard drives...
What do you think about the idea?
