I've got an old PC that's over 10 years old, and I'm attempting to install an additional SSD. I'm referring to a YouTube guide, but when I opened the back of my case, I couldn't find an SSD tray like the one shown in the video. Instead, I see something different. My case is made by ANTEC, but I'm not sure of the model. Is there a spot available for me to install an SSD?

It seems like your case might be too old to have the SSD brackets mounted on the back. If you check the other side of the case, older cases often have plenty of drive bays. Just a heads up, a 2.5" SSD won’t fit in a standard 3.5" bay without an adapter. If there aren't any dedicated 2.5" bays, you could get a bit creative. Since SSDs are super light with no moving parts, one option is to attach it to the side of a 3.5" bay—let it hang a bit on the other side. It’ll be fine; there’s nothing inside to break due to some movement!
Thanks a lot for your response! Here's what it looks like on the inside. It’s a bit dusty, I know! Currently, the SSD is sitting on a tray that's screwed in, and I don't think I have another tray for a second SSD. Is there still a way to fit another SSD in?
