Can I install an extra hard disk (Western Digital 1 TB) besides the Sandisk SSD 256Gb and the Toshiba 1 Tb?

Hi,

 

Looking at your motherboard it seems there are only 3 Sata connectors on the motherboard:

So it would not be possible to add another Hard drive, unless you no longer use the DVD drive. Naturally you could replace the 1TB Toshiba drive with a 2TB drive or more.

You could also get a PCIe card to add some more Sata ports to the system.

Example:

Hope it helps,

David
