[QUOTE="Chilbear, post: 755851, member: 32643"] That is correct. When I upgraded the HD I left the original on the bottom and moved on. It is a very tight space unless you can figure how to get the sled out that holds the HD. Tricky at first. That is why I plastic zip tied the drive to it (with an insulator) to get me going. Adding the extra drives in the storage bay is also correct but will required another longer cable to be bought. The storage bays are held in with clips or screws and exit through the front (pry out the plastic cover to reveal the screws/clips). Feed cable through the back, connect them all and slide the drive bay back in. Another thought is to add a USB/Firewire card and install it into this area if you need frequent access to USB/Firewire (ie camera interface). [/QUOTE]
