Can you add an additional internal hard drive to this system? I know that the there is a space issue with these desk top models.

You can not actually add additional hard drive, but you could replace the original with new one has more capacity.I would suggest to use external hard drive.

It looks like there are slots for SATA 1.0 and SATA 2.0 with one being used by the currently installed hard drive. So there is an available slot to plug one in but I seriously doubt another internal hard drive would physically fit in the case. I would just add an external drive. I have two hooked up to mine :).

Not likely, we added one our selves. Picked it up at best buy for around $35. Easy to do your self. Really, they can help you with it at best buy if you ask nicely. Bring the whole unit with you. The back comes off and you can see where it goes. Oh, and that disk in the photo..... not likely included either. Not included in mine.

Go to their website. They have setups to build your own... this one is already setup. And yes, I believe they are replaceable. But why buy this model to just replace with bigger drives when they already sell 1, bigger drives and 2, setups to build your own...

Nope. The HP you are referring to only has 1 2.5 inch bay, so unless you modded that case there no place for another drive. a 1TB drive would double your capacity though. So I'd check that out.

Yes get a bigger one for more storage. I recommend the larger one.I got a 16 gb and ran out of space quickly

If you purchase the diskless version, you will need to purchase and install storage for this device in the form of a standard 3.5 in. SATA internal PC hard drive. You can add up to two drives. You can attach your USB drive to this device for redundant back up of the device in case the disk(s) or system should ever fail.

There are slots for the twelve disks that it comes with but, you have plenty of space between the slots to add additional disks if you don't care that they don't have there own slot

There is no magic here. There is a 3.5" SATA HDD inside the case. If you do a web search on 'teardown ST3000DM001' (or whatever model you choose) you can get instructions how to pull out the drive so you can install it inside any system. These are always cheaper than bare drives. Go figure. Of course you are likely to void your warranty in the process.

I have found no way to do that. I've searched the forums and no one has attempted this yet. You can upgrade the SSD, but need to get the cover off for that. At the same time, the stock RAM has been just fine for my enterprise computing needs. If you are looking for a hardcore gamer or CAD, then this isn't the machine for you.

If your desktop machine is the same as mine, you can add another drive in the removable slot. It must be a sata drive.

There is a model that comes with a hard drive, but we chose to buy the model without one. We purchase a larger hard drive separately from Amazon. System works great!

If you want a good "as is" system get this one, I am very happy with mine. No problems with it under constant use. However, if you want loads of out of the box expand-ability you may be disappointed. There is physical space for one additional hard drive, but without unplugging the USM port (as I did) there was no free SATA cable to support it. I would recommend buying a SATA expansion card. There are no free memory slots, to add additional memory (why? It's got plenty ) you would need to buy larger DIMMs and replace the existing ones. Hope this helps.

Wait am I confusing this product this product with something else? You can't put a hard drive in this one right? Only External?

There is space for two additional hard drives. I added one (1 TB SATA) hard drive to my system - it mounts directly below the master drive. There is space provided for a third drive, but it doesn't seem as accessible as the other two, so I won't comment on adding a third drive.

Do a google search for that. I doubt you can mount a second hard drive in there, but I'm not sure.

why not upgrade the internal drive to a larger size - the unit is basically a box that contains a hard drive
