Can I add and additional 2.5" Sata III hardrive to an HP ENVY M7-N011DX

[WJChristy]

I have the above computer on order, and also have a SSD on the way to replace the OE hard Drive.

In looking for instructions on the dissassembly of the laptop I have come across several places where its stated a second 2.5" sata drive can be added to the laptop, (I am not referring to the M.2 connector on the mother board), if i purchase the proper brackets and the sata connector to go with it. 

I have found the sata connector and bracket and before i buy it i wanted to check to see if it was possible to utilize the two drives. 

Any help would be apprecitaed.

It seems you can. See p. 2 of the Manual where it says support for 2d HDD and lists a 2 x 2 TB SATA HDD configuration.

Problem is, the Manual provides no clue where to place the second full-sized SATA hard drive. It has been suggested that the second hdd installs on the right side of the chassis on the opposite side of the main hard drive but I have never actually seen it done.

Believe it or not, I have figured the instruction parts out. I just wanted to make sure that the experts here agreed it could be done!

Supposedly it will work with all M7-NXXXX series laptops. 

Thank you for the verification! I am glad this forum is here with all the experts around. Its been very helpful in my quest for the "Perfect" laptop.
