Hey, quick question that I’m too dumb to know the answer to and can’t seem to find any info about anywhere.
I just got a 2.5" HDD and put it in the dedicated place in my Fractal Meshify C case. It’s on the side, and there really isn’t enough space for it - the drive is too thick for the panel to come back on normally. When I put the panel back on the case it pushes right up against the drive and the panel clearly isn’t flush with the case.
Is this an issue? Or will the drive be fine?
I think that slot is probably designed for SSDs instead of HDDs. SSDs are significantly slimmer and would fit there without fouling the side panel. From the promotional material I can see of your case, it looks like it comes with a cage designed to hold 3.5" HDDs - to fit this drive properly you’ll need a caddy to adapt it to fit that, and install it into there instead.
