Does this laptop have 2 full size hard drive bays?

Yes... And, this is easily accessible, all you have to do is unscrew one screw at the bottom of your laptop and, vola, every component that you can change is there, including the 2 full size hard disk bays.

Mine has all four with the blue plastic that usually indicates usb3.0. A big boon that's not advertised is that there is a second drive bay, so you can add another hard drive or even a ssd. I have added an extra drive but it took quite a few minutes to recognize it. I haven't tried it but there seems to be empty ram bays as a well.

Hard drive is only 5400, but Windows boots much faster than I imagined and the laptop comes with 2 drive bays, so you can throw in a SSD in it's SATA 3 port if you wanted.

No. The days of internal expansion are over. Suggest you take a look at the 2013 model, you can 4 Drives.

Yes it does have 2. You can order a kit with a gasket and cable from HP. There's just one problem. At least the one I have also has a 64G SSD which is set up to work dynamically with the hard drive in the bay. Which means that the cloning software I have don't copy the HD to a 256G SSD. I need to call HP and see if there's a way to convert it to an SSD.

No it does not. You are pretty much limited to just two usb ports and not much else. Still I have been happy with it for a sleek, lightweight laptop.

One easy-swap bay, and one internal bay open. There's also the one with the DVD-RW drive, and the main HDD slot, so four total.

It will do two 2-terabyte drives. Make sure you update to the latest drivers though or it won't.

There's 2 hard drives. I liked the laptop but the hdmi went out on me within 30 days. That's something I use a lot so I sent the device back. The laptop itself was pretty nice and for the price ya can't beat it

I don't know, but here are the more specific questions you should be asking:1. Will it fit correctly? There are two different sizes of 2.5" HDDs (normal & slim)2. Does the laptop support SATA II?3. Do you have the restore disks to reinstall everything? (Not specific to this HDD)

Mine has two Seagate disks in it. Same model number, and very similar serial numbers (they may have been from the same run).

It has four bays for hard drives. If it comes with two drives, and you want to have four in there, you will need to purchase two more. I bought mine with no drives but it came with all four bays. It was new when I bought it.

If you send a request to support at MSI they can forward a pic of this laptop with the bottom removed. They highlight the mounting areas where the new drives install. It uses msata drives for the space savings. They are about 1/3d the size of a cased SSD.
