confirms the top panel is basically unobstructed, there's theoretically room for 15mm drives on the top side with no modifications.


view from front with two 7mm drives on left, one 15mm on right


view from CPU side (I'm mentally identifying L/R as M.2 side and CPU side) showing the incredibly tight clearance to what I can't even be 100% sure is the top of any given stick of RAM.


Realistically I think I'd want ~5mm of clearance for however you're bracketing the drive to the top to account for bracket thickness and a couple of rubber/nylon washers for isolation, so 15mm is proooobably still out. EDIT: unless you want a single 15mm 2.5" drive that sits over the CPU in the same orientation as the bottom-side drives.  Anyway, good to know if I need more storage I could potentially jump to a hilarious six 2.5" 7mm drives.
