Now the case only support 4 HDD. Can i use the default location of the psu as the HDD cage to hold the extra 2 HDD?
 
yes you can, but where will you put the PSU?
 
If you don't plan on putting fans on the bottom of the case, you can just sit your 2 or more extra drives on the bottom of the case.
This is my Air 740 I'll use as an example, 2 of my drives are just sitting on the bottom of the case.

I get home at roughly 4pm Central time. I think I have a solution for you already made, but you'll need a friend with a 3D Printer.

It's a 3D Printed Top/Bottom piece which acts like a HDD cage and sandwiches four 3.5" HDDs and has a built-in mount for a 120mm fan to cool them. I cannot access my TinkerCAD account at work to look it up, but I'm absolutely certain it will work for your needs.

You can then install the other 2 HDDs in the stock location

If you still need a 4 hdd bay to put in your case pm me an email address so i can send you the .STL file (for a 3D Printer to print the 4 hdd bay)

is this still available?
i'm a boomer and i cant figure out how to send you a PM.
 
If Mountain Mods is still in business, they had a 3.5" HDD cage that attached to 120mm fans or fan mounts... that was years ago. I had thought about using those in my mods in the past..
 
Looks like there's enough room to put something like these on the floor, behind the PSU, if it's not too big and the cables don't get in the way.

Obviously, they aren't made for this case, so you'd have to figure out if/how to make them fit and secure them inside the case yourself.

Velcro is your friend :D

If there's a will, there's a way....as long as there is some way to route the cables, all is good

ps... be sure to get the uber-heavy duty/automotive type for the longest, strongest holding powah.....
