Can solid drive drives be added?

A solid state drive could be fitted to replace the existing hard drive. These are currently very expensive, particularly if you wanted to replace the existing 1 Terra-byte disc. There would not be room to fit an additional drive. Of course, you could always use an external SSD, utilising one of the many the USB ports.

I do not know what you mean by solid driver and i do know if any thing can be add inside the computer but mine has two external drives 1TB each and works great. Best computer ever had.

You can add a usb cd/dvd drive otherwise you could replace one of the existing drives with one that you would like, but you would have to open the case and install it. I warn you that this takes some knowledge about computers and don't recommend it if you are not comfortable and familiar with the insides of computers.

No. New drives have to be equal to or larger than the largest installed drive.

It looks like a total of three spaces are in the case for hard drives. You can always add external USB drives too, which are more transportable than the internal drives.

Yes. I installed one. There's a slot to add a second HDD but it would just put SSD in it.

I have not done so but,this computer has the extra space to add drives. You can get more info on the model by going to the Gateway website.

Only if you have SATA connections available to work with...otherwise find an IDE drive.

Yes you can as you have a slot for it. You will need to clone over the existing install or reinstall Windows. There are also USB enclosures and normal SATA adapters.

Yes. It will allow a single drive. When you add the second one, hopefully identical in size, you can choose to add it as more capacity or as a RAID. If a RAID, then the DS will create a second copy of the first and significantly increased the system reliability.

Not sure, depends on your source USB port. To be sure, I would purchase a "powered" USB hub to connect your drives.

It is a standard drive, not solid state storage. Not sure of interface technology?

As long as it is 5.25 inch, yes you can. You can install up to 3 of those drives. You can also install your OS using a USB drive.

I don't know, sorry. Perhaps you could contact DRIVE web site for further information.

I don't see why not since the interface is universal for platter driven hard drives. However, I would like to know if the same can be said of the solid state drive interface.

Yes, you can mix different drives up to 4TB in size each for a total of 32TB.

Although there are SATA to IDE converters they would not work in this case. The bare drive slides into the unit into SATA connectors on the inside back of the unit. There is not enough physical room for converters. You are better off looking for an IDE mobile rack.
