I own this computer and I believe that it does, but you have to remove the dvd drive

I think it might be difficult to have two 3.5 drives in this case. I have one 3.5" 3TB Drive and two 2.5" drives. One is the boot SSD and the second is a notebook drive. The 2.5" drives are sitting where the DID would go which I don't have installed.

Yes, but you may need to replace the hard drive cable to accommodate two drives.

Mine came with two physical SSD drives and one physical hard drive. They split the hard drive into two logical drives. So you start out with 4 logical drives.I logically combined the two SSD drives into one and removed the partitioning of the hard drive (folk on the ASUS forum told me how to do that). For that matter, I replaced the original 5400 rpm hard drive with a snappier 7200 rpm drive. So at this time my machine has only two logical drives - I like it better that way.HTH

I have no idea, it was a gift for my boyfriend. The screen was damaged so we didn't get to look closely at the laptop. But it think it does has 2 slots. I'm mot 100% sure.

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

It does not. But I concurrently purchased one from amazon or Newegg for a very inexpensive amount (I'm sure it was under 5 dollars). So far, the drive has worked flawlessly.

There are two terabyte hard drives on this laptop which provides more than enough storage for an average user. So to put it plainly 2 HDD.

4 internal bays with caddies. Bios will support 6 HDD with unauthorized BIOS flash, and the extra 2 HDD can go in the 5 1/4 bays for DVD, etc. To add the 2 drives will take some expertise and extra cables, so I'll leave the details up to your web data mining prowess. It has 2 external USB 2.0 and 1 internal USB 2.0. Mine has 2 4TB WD and an SSD system disk. It runs Win7 and Ubuntu for me. Buy the memory upgrade to 8GB. No hardware problems at all - highly recommended. Not much in the way of graphics and fast CPU, but as a data or media server it is fine. It has 1@1 gig ethernet port, and can be remote booted (not tested by me). 4 internal bays with caddies.

There is space for two full sized hard drives. One is in the laptop and the other is in the hot swap device, which can be used instead of the disc drive. There are also two mSATA drive ports which will only fit mSATA drives and not full sized drives.

Yes, there is one for a disc drive and one bay for an additional hard drive.

It comes with one DVD/CD-RW drive. There is a bay for a second. Internally I believe there is a slot for a second hard drive.

There are 4 drive bays. I haven't done so, but I understand you can rig the DVD slot for an additional drive. I have already added USB external without a problem. As far as the larger that 2TB drives - sorry, I haven't tried that. I'm running two small drives to handle the OS in a RAID configuration and 2-2TB drives in a RAID for everything else. Just haven't had a reason to upgrade beyond 2TB yet.
