Can 3.5" hard drives fit in 5.24" drive bays?

[ProHarry]

Hi, i don't know anything about hard drives and im wanting to buy this barebones bundle http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/spec ... l?BB-E462P (http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?BB-E462P)

It says that is has 4 x 5.24" and no 3.5" drive bays. I do not know whether there are any hard drives that are compatible with this motherboard and after searching for ages i still have not been able to find a hard drive that is compatible with 5.24" bays.

Someone please educate me or find me a hard drive that is compatible with this motherboard

thanks

Good Lord, Nova have got the spec wrong! :shock: :wink: :lol:

Looking at the picture, you have 2X 3.5" bays for floppies, card readers etc. and several rack mounts below for standard 3.5" SATA drives.

You usually get a manual, one SATA signal lead for the HD, and an IDE ribbon for the DVD/CD , and all the nuts and bolts and a drivers disk too.

Piece of cake to build! :P
