Second hard drive

[Jamesnametaken]

I'm planning on installing a second  hard drive in my newly purchased Z2 Tower G9.

If anyone has suggestions regarding drives or comments concerning installation, I'd  appreciate hearing such.

Thx NonS'777 It does help.

My tower, according to specs,  has a 256 GB PCIe 4x4 2280 Value M.2 SSD as the primary HD. I haven't popped the lid to check yet but I assume it's in the 2 bay hard drive holder? OK I wonder if I'm wrong and it's  down on the mother board below the optical drive, I don't think it's a good idea to pop the box & check while it's running & I'm writing this. 😉

My plan was to install a 2nd drive in the 2nd hard drive bay to get more onboard storage. I thought I might need another data + power cable, looks like I might need a bit more to fit it into that bay ,if that's the place to put it.

Hey I go back to the Apple II + and floppy disks, I'm trying to catch up! Grin.

Again Thanks.
