Corsair 200R doesn't fit Ironwolf Pro 12TB drives

[rramstad]

Hi there, this is a weird one, but maybe someone can help.

I have a Corsair 200R case that I've used for some time and kept reusing it through several builds.

I recently decided to upgrade my NAS and decided to reuse this case for that purpose, as I really like the case.

The plastic drive bay at the bottom of the case for the 3.5" drives doesn't work for the Ironwolf Pro 12TB drives that I have.

They seem to be too thick -- when I try to put them in the drive bay, they are super tight, and I can't get them in more than an inch or two without worrying about breaking the drive bay or the drives.

Is this a known issue? Are there replacement drive bays or other solutions?

I've literally never seen this before, ever, and I've been building systems for a long time.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm having the exact same issue with the Seagate 12TB ST12000NM0127.

I've install several other 3.5" drives in the case without any issues.

Has there been any solution or do I need to buy a new case?

I ended up buying an adapter so the hard drive would go in the 5.25" bay used for disk drives.

This one from amazon worked for me: https://www.amazon.com/ICY-DOCK-Tool-Less-Ultra-Slim-MB343SPO/dp/B0756MZTPG
