new internal HDD use the removeable tray or bolt in cage?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Hello all I just ordered my first internal (extra storage HDD).

my Acer case has a removeable tray which all ready has a SATA cable and a 12V power cable attached to the backplan
should I just use this tray or should I just bolt the new HDD into the extra HDD slot in the HDD cage then steal the SATA cable from the tray mechcanism?

edit I believe this new HDD dos'nt come w/ bolts.

pros and cons of both installations is appreciated.

also any tips on installing this new HDD like will Windows 7 automaticalley install in and format it for me? if not I'm tinking it should be formatted NFTA?

Thanks STB

Don't know that case layout. Take into account airflow to cool both the HDD or other components that may be blocked by the HDD in either position. One spot may also be noisier than the other.
