You can easily place (5) 3.5" HD's inside the Core 1000 (if you're not using an optical drive

)

Not interested in using a combination of HD'S & SSD's ?

5?I can see that only 4 3.5 hdds can fit out of the box (2 on 3.5 and 2 on 5.25)
I'm not sure if I'll use an ssd as they die quickly on a server (many writes I think),but if I do,they are the easiest to mount
