HD/SSD mount question

Hi. I just ordered a mercury S8 caselabs case last week on the 9th. I am wondering if the HD mount that comes standard will accept SSDs & HDs or will I need some other addon option? Are the screws to mount them included(thumb screws) or will I need extra parts? I look forward to using this case. Thanks.

Included as standard is the stealth tray underneath the motherboard which will hold either 2xHDD or 1xHDD and 2xSSD or 4xSSD.

You also get one 3.5" HDD caddy with all necessary mountings for extra drives that fit in the lower left compartment if you are not using radiators down there. Extra caddies can be purchased.

If you want to mount SSD's in a 3.5'' HDD drive cage you will need these.

Thanks for your fast reply. Are there screws to mount those drives included? Did you mean I can use 4 3.5 drives or 4 ssd drives(2.5)? Sorry didn't understand that last part of your post. I want to make sure I have everything needed for the install.

As the S8 ships, you can mount up to 4x 2.5" SSD on the stealth plate AND 4x 3.5"" HDD in the drive caddy in the lower left compartment. All screws are included.

Good info, thanks. I'm planning on mounting 3 SSD's and 1 HDD. Looks like I can fit all but one SSD to the stealth plate. Any other mount options for the third SSD besides the cage? I have the 120.3 radiator mount for down there that I was planning to use.

I could mount the radiator to the front and use the HDD cage I guess but was hoping there might be another stealth like SSD mount option.

You could mount all the SSD onto the stealth tray and see what mounts were needed to put the HDD cage into the flex-bay area.
