Product: Omen 870 - 244
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Can someone please tell me how to install an additional hard drive to the Omen 870-244 Desktop?  I tried it once but only found the power connection but no data cable.  What do I need to buy and where does this data cable connect on the motherboard?  Also, does this motherboard allow for the addition of 2 additional hard drives (for a total of 3 HDD's).

 

Thanks!!!

Hi,

 

Review the layout of your motherboard here. SATA HD/SSDs would connect to an empty SATA port.  You can purchase a data cable from your local PC store (Best Buy, Micro PC, Frys etc.).. The drive bay is provisioned to support three hard drives.

Does anyone know the procedure to remove the bracket that is blocking access to the data connectors?
