I recently bought an Acer Aspire E5-575G-53VG Laptop. Link. It comes with a SSD and an empty 2.5inch drive bay. I bought a 1TB HDD to put in, but I can't figure out how to secure it. There appears to be no way built into the laptop. I'd really like to add in extra storage. Can anyone help, there appears to be no tutorials anywhere.
 


Hello, I bought an Acer Aspire E5-575G-57D4 and will add a 2nd HDD but because I'm outside the USA they won't ship it to me, I've never printed anything in 3D but doing the part 42.GDEN7 would certainly be fun to do, If you could share the file I'd be deeply thankful for it
 
Just a quick random question since we're on the subject. I recently bought an E15 that has the empty HDD expansion slot. Without getting into too many specifics, if I add the second hard drive and use it strictly for archival storage and not for the OS or to run any programs, would a crash affect the rest of the computer? Currently the machine has a 256GB SSD that is really great. I just get tired of the inconvenience of having to carry around my 10 year archive on an external drive that could just reside inside the laptop without the hassle of a cord.
