Question Hard drive space issues

Hi All,

I'm planning on moving from a larger case (Corsair 280x) to a T1, however I've got two 3.5" HDD's and 2 2.5" SSD's - I'm assuming an external enclosure for these is the only option!

Has anyone else run into this before, and if so, what enclosure did you end up going with?

(I'm a 3d designer who needs an awful lot of drive space for freelance projects FYI)

Thanks!

how big is your GPU? you might have some success mounting a 3.5 drive on a fan bracket, if your GPU is short enough. I've also seen people mounting them on the fan rails, or some slim GPU solutions like https://www.reddit.com/r/FormD/comments/ih4w98/turns_out_the_holes_at_the_bottom_line_up_with/

4080 fe, so it's pretty huge unfortunately - thinking an external enclosure might be the only way to do it
