Can you install a second internal hard drive? Thanks.

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

absolutely...there is a cage that is designed to hold two hard drives. very simple to remove the cage(one screw) and install a second hard drive.

Yes and you will have to set the pins with a jumper for recognition of a second drive and plug it into the IDE cable as the second, you might have to unplug something. then copy the drive *.* and you've duplicated it.

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

You can start with two drives and expand it as you get more drives. Furthermore if all bays are full then you can replace older smaller drives with bigger newer drives without losing any data.

If you have 2 internal drives now you would have to replace one of them with the SSD drive unless you run the SSD Externally .

I installed a 2TB Western Digital internal drive and it works just fine. You can transfer files from your main PC onto this internal drive with the supplied cable that comes with this unit.My set up works great

As said earlier, that's your 2nd hard drive. Whether it is an SSD, traditional or hybrid does not matter.

You cannot add a second drive, but you can easily replace the drive with one up to two terabytes.You can also back up recorded events to an external drive via USB, including flash drives or your computer, but realize that this is not "adding" a drive - it's backing up existing events.

No.I believe you can purchase an adapter for the optical drive location and place a second HDD in there. This will replace your current optical drive of course, so you would have to decide if that's something you can live without or you could purchase an external optical drive.

I did add a second hard drive, but I am no pro. The metal plate blocking the slot is a knock out, so I got pliers and ripped it (gently,) out. I had to go buy a cable (I bought a longer version of the cable that attached the drive to my old computer) and simply installed it in the same way my old drive was installed. I may simply have gotten lucky. I remember an old conversation about making one drive a slave to the other, but I didn't do anything like that, and the drives are both working, so maybe I did get lucky.

I'm afraid so. One drive will work; I'm using two. Even for a "newbie" it's pretty easy to set up, and they're very good about answering questions.

Yes, just be sure you do not install any programs on the drive or they may not run. If you are using the 2nd drive just for data it should be fine.

@TonyI believe you could. You'd have to create two partitions on the drive, one formatted in HFS+ (for Mac) and the other in NTFS (for Windows). I have never done any such thing but it might be worth a try. Of course, as these drives have come so far down in price, why not just buy two, one for Mac and the other for Windows?

I also want to know this. I will NEVER buy a laptop that cannot accept second drive.
