so i assumed i could toss in my friends old 2.5 so as not to waste it, and then i wanted to add a 3.5 in much larger drive for her backup drive. i dont want to buy an external and add clutter to her desktop. the preinstalled SSD is m2 so i was thinking like old school towers there would be room for 3 drives. based on the above specs. also found it in an independent review that it had the expansion slots mentioned above with 2 of the 3.5 bays.. what am i missing? alternatively if 2 of the 2.5s can fit in that space id be ok with that. the machine has a few spare sata but only one power cable so i need a splitter there for sure.
also under the open 'bay ' on top is the CD drive for the record. i havent figure out how to remove this cage yet though. i assume i can
