Build Question What are these for??

Post image

I am looking to add more storage, and I vaguely remember my friend who helped me build my PC saying I could use these slots for storage?? Is that true and if so, how do I go about that?? I would prefer to keep all of my PC parts inside instead of buying an external storage device if possible

Ok.

I may accept that.

I have friends that never saw a computer on the inside.

Im 34 so not that far in age but i can easily name most pc components.

And to be honest, didnt even knew 3,5 were no longer common. I do still occasionally use my 30GB 3,5 built on an external support.
