Hard to tell from that photo, but from this eBay screenshot it appears to be a laptop hard drive slot so no. You could get a 2.5” drive in there though.

Yeah… I’m not sure anymore that pre-builts are the best NAS machines. Looks like I’m buying piecemeal.

You just need to go for non small form factor machines. Anything with half height pcie cards is going to have like 1 3.5” bay max.
That said they rarely have much 3.5” space anyways so building is typically better. You can usually find a CPU mobo ram combo for cheap online. Then just pick a case and power supply and you’re good to go.
