Unfortunately, we currently have no information on when the item will be available and when we will be able to deliver it. As soon as something changes in this regard, we will post it here.
Yes, a BD/DVD drive can be installed behind the front flap in this housing, as it has a single 5.25" drive bay. This bay is intended for optical drives such as Blu-ray or DVD and is located behind the front flap.
Removable frames for HDDs behind the front flap are also possible, as the housing offers modular HDD cages that can be flexibly adapted and mounted behind the front flap. This allows you to install additional hard drive bays and replace them if necessary.
The Fractal Design Define 7 Black Solid case comes with six universal 3.5"/2.5" drive brackets and two dedicated 2.5" drive brackets out of the box. However, if you need to accommodate eight HDDs, you will require additional storage solutions.
The Define 7 has a dual-layout design that allows for significant storage expansion. You can convert the case to a Storage Layout, which enables the installation of up to 14 HDDs. To achieve this, you would need to use the multi-brackets provided, which can convert unused fan positions into HDD or SSD mounts.
There is a dedicated place to mount additional storage solutions, such as a 4-bay enclosure, using these multi-brackets. The case's design is highly modular, allowing you to customize the storage configuration to fit your needs.
It works with one exception: since the Silent Loop normally belongs on the ceiling, there is no more room for a DVD drive. That's why I have the water cooling at the front, but this is not recommended, because every water cooling system loses liquid over time.
Unfortunately not directly, you can only buy the glass panels from Fractal. You might have to write to the manufacturer, they might be able to do something.

Yes, the 6 trays are included in the box. Otherwise, the part is also quite good. I am satisfied. The only thing I find a little strange is that you can open the panel at the front like a door. But it doesn't bother me if it just stands there ;-)
Hi, I really don't know. However, Fractal has the operating instructions on its homepage, including explorer drawings that leave no questions unanswered. Please look there, that's the best way to be sure that your questions are answered. The case itself is really perfect and makes building a PC a real pleasure.
