Which cage(s) to use (air flow etc.)

I have drive 1 SSD, drive 2 hybrid SSD/HDD, drives 3 and 4 each 6TB WD Red.

The 900D has 3 cages of 3 sleds each. The CPU is liquid cooled, Origin Frostbyte 360, with a radiator lengthwise at the top.



My question is where to put the 4 drives.



(I am hoping that I can cope with Origin's fancy cabling -- I have to add drives 3 and 4 myself.)



I need only one cage but wouldn't putting all three HDDs in it risk overheating?



The other extreme is to put one HDD in the center sled of each cage.



I was thinking that if I could take out one of the cages (which one? top one? second bottom one?) it would help the air flow and I might then be able to run the fans slower. The second bottom cage has vents but it must impede the airflow from the bottom of the 3 front fans, so I was thinking about that being the best one to take out.



I don't need much in the way of video performance so I have a wimpy card with its own little fan.



I would greatly appreciate peoples' advice. Thank you!
