Once we look at the right side (or rear) of the motherboard tray (behind the motherboard) we feel a little humbled as to what Cooler Master did here. Covers and shields again. There is enough space for cable routing, the chassis has many routing points and they are all very large and located at every key location, optimized for ATX and E-ATX motherboards.

To the left you can see a plate hiding cables, it is secured with a screw or two. The idea is to hide all cables behind it, however with a closed right side panel we do wonder a bit as to what difference that actually makes? At the backside we see a huge mainboard tray cutout, also shielded, but now look at the next photo:

You can remove the back side tray shield to replace your cooler more easily. CM likely added this shield as to reinforce the motherboard tray as the cutout is rather big.

Here you can see the two at the back side of the motherboard tray revealing a good 2.5cm of spacing for cables (depending if you route bypassing the shielding).

So yes, that leaves us with the two SSDs we can install and tuck (hide) away in the back. Above, the photo from the front-side, the SSDs sit on the PSU cover. You can remove them and place them at the back side of the motherboard tray if you would prefer that. Thus overall, storage wise, you can mount two HDDs and two SSDs.
