I thought I saw somewhere that some 17" Laptops have a second Drive Bay, other than the Optical Drive, is this true and if so how can I tell without digging into my lappy? I looked but don't see anything without digging through all the manual's. Okay, got: Un-Lazy lol...looking at the Manual now, and to my surprise some of these laptops DO have a second HDD Bay!!! I guess the only way I will know is to dig into it right?
Any other info I should know before getting and installing another Drive into this laptop?

Finally back to this little project. Really want to get another drive for the Second Bay on this laptop. I'm looking at the Parts List and it don't look like it can be had alone, but only with these things.
Hard Drive Hardware Kit, includes: 665597-001
(2a) Primary hard drive connector cable
(2b) Primary hard drive bracket
(4a) Secondary hard drive connector cable
(4b) Secondary hard drive bracket
Screws (not illustrated)
Is anyone familiar with this, and how I go about getting a new one?
Thanks, pc
