Does this laptop have an extra, empty drive bay available, for installing a second drive? Thank you.

Mr. Langa: The Toshiba Satellite I purchased does not have an extra drive bay.

It doesn't have any. This is just the enclosure for a 2.5in SATA drive, which you purchase separately.

Hello, We are the manufacturer of this computer and would be glad to assist with your questions! The computer does not have the ability to add a second hard drive to it due to the form factor being so tight. The maximum RAM that can be installed is 32GB on 4x 8GB sticks. There are slots currently available, however any expansion slots such as a video card will require a low profile bracket.

Hi to the best of my knowledge an experience on a Windows platform it shows as 2 separate drives. On the Mac os it shows as 1 drive.

Please note that this particular laptop model is old now. MSI offers newer versions, but I don't know about the new laptops' capabilities of having hard drive additions or replacements. Most laptops including this one don't work that way. There is a connector in the drive bay (actually a depression) that the sata connector on the hard disk directly connects to. Mine shipped with the second drive caddy, or holder, in place in that depression. Other laptops have a connector on the caddy, or drive holding frame, that the hard drive directly connects to. Then the caddy plugs into the sata connector on the bay or depression. With many there are one or more screws to keep the drive from disconnecting.

No, no optical drive at all and no space for one. I picked up a Samsung USB DVD drive for about thirty dollars on Amazon. That does the job and is very thin to match this laptop.

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

Not sure... Maybe someone at Amazon made a deal with someone at Lenovo? Mine has the one T drive... The machine ROCKS.. The swappable bay means INFINITE storage.. so the one T drive didn't bother me...

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

NO, even tho the seller claims it comes pre-installed. Also no install disk included with the laptop.I returned mine.

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.

Yes there is plenty of space for an additional drive. As long as the Solid State Drive is SATA you should be fine.

No it doesn't but you my remove the CD drive and install second SSD or HDD.

I am also unsure about the bay for a second hard drive, but mine came with 1Tb, which to me is plenty. You will be able to install windows 7 or any OS for that matter. Worst case would be that you may have to download a driver or two, but I highly doubt that.

No, there's no drive on this laptop! To Be honest, I don't recommend you to buy it!
