Hello, I'm interested to buy the DeskMini X300 Series, but first, I'm interested if in this mini pc I can install my Hard Disk Laptop Seagate Barracuda Guardian, 5TB, SATA-III, 5400RPM, cache 128MB, 15 mm, because I want to double it as a NAS and it's a must for me, you can say it's a deal brake if not.....
So can you tell me if it does or even test if it can take the 15mm HDD, I do know that there are SSDs with that capacities and even higher, with better speeds at lower size, but I don't have the money for it and I want to use the drive that I already have and I think that HDDs are safer for the data I want to store...
Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Dear D.S.-sama,

Regarding your question, DeskMini X300 supports dual 9.5mm height HDD room.
15mm HDD will not fit in DeskMini X300.

Thank you!
Yours truly,
