While the upgrading and servicing guide that came with it shows
a little cradle for a 2nd harddrive below the existing hard
drive, there isn't such a cradle in mine (or on HP parts
surfer) . HP support say with all the other bays occupied (with
1DVD reader writer, 1 CD reader Writer, one memory card reader,
one 3.5 " drive, one sound/USB/IE1394 output) I cannot add a
second harddrive.
I want two harddrives as I want to ghost all my software and
data off my old machine that has two drives and I like to keep
software on one drive and data on another. I could swap to
another larger case with more bays but the audio/USB/IE 1394 is
going to be hard to fit as it has a non standard means of
attachment (to the outside of the bay face) and the memory card
reader is going to extend from the front of the case a bit. Any
ideas or possible solutions - meantime I'm on the look out for
replacement standard bay memory card readers and
USB/Audio/Firewire front panels. At least HP said my warranty
won't be voided by changing cases.
