Thats the one! The 6570 and 6470 use interchangable parts.

 

Hope this helps!

Hey Martin,

 

You can add a second drive to this laptop. The optical drive can be replaced with a second hard drive or just be removed for weight saving. Check out number 21 on page 1 of the Quick reference guide:

 

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14308_div/14308_div.PDF

 

The spec sheet never mentions using an SSD in that bay, just that it can be used for a" Second 500GB 7200 rpm SMART SATA II Hard Drive." (Page 😎

 

Hope this helps!
