There are converters that allow you to stick 2 2.5" drives in the space of a single 3.5" bay, and converters for 5.25" to 3.5". Theoretically, you could fit 11 2.5" drives in there, though the packed nature of it might give you some heat issues.

The two HDD bays in the case OP linked can use either a 2,5 ich or 3,5 inch HDD/SSD.

So this[www.mydiypcusa.com] is false advertising?

External 5.25" Drive Bays
2
Internal 3.5" Drive Bays
2
Internal 2.5" Drive Bays
3(SSD)

The website i checked only said it supported 3,5 ich. IDK which site is wrong. But it doesn't matter nobody uses 5,25 ich HDDs.

Its not really false advertising just misleading, by installing a 3,5 inch HDD you will lose access to one 5,25 ich and one 2,5 inch bay.

So you have 2 bays that will fit a 2,5, 3,5 or 5,25 ich HDD/SSD. And one bay only for 2,5 ich SSD/HDDs.

First of all, you might want to actually read what I originally typed.

Second, just watched an unboxing video, and I'd be royally pissed if I bought the case on the assumption it has 2 3.5" drive bays and 3 2.5" drive bays. It does indeed count the 2.5" screwholes in the 3.5" bays as separate bays. So the correct numbers are:

External 5.25" Drive Bays
2
Internal shared 3.5"/2.5" Drive Bays
2
Internal 2.5" Drive Bays
1(SSD)

Through the use of converters, you'd still be able to fit 9 2.5" drives in there. Not too shabby.

all DIY D480 Case have 2x 3.5 inch hidden in the bottom; on the back side you have 3x 2.5-inch

So 5 storage drives total is possible easily, no issues there.
