Does the Pavilion  590-p0066 have an unused slot that I can put another HDD/SSD in?

Isn't the 590 different than a 570?

[DGroves]

the 570 and 590 series use the same case, only the motherboard/pwr supply and other bits are diffrent

[fred3453545]

Thanks,  so I'm assuming it only as 2 SATA ports like the 570?

[DGroves]

which part of  "only the motherboard/pwr supply and other bits are diffrent"  did you miss? 

diffrent motherboard= diffrent sata options

[fred3453545]

If the case is the same it would be pretty dumb of HP to pay for a motherboard that had more SATA ports than could actuly be utalized.

HP makes many, many diffrent systems and as such makes many diffrent custom motherboards so it's not dumb for them to take a existing board from a higher end system and place it in a smaller case that has less drive bays  what would be dumb is desigining another board rather than using a existing one from another series

the 570 (and the 590 most likely) are available with uATX and micro ATX motherboards  each board has diffrent expansion  abilities such as number of pcie slots,ram slots, onboard or descrete video, supported cpu's, and more, the uATX only have 2 sata ports, the micro atx ususally have 4 or more ports and the fullsized ATX boards will have support for just about anything
