Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can install a 2.5 in this model, you may need adapter brackets.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have to eat some crow on my prior comments in regards to adding a 2.5 SSD drive. Yes DaveW you were right there is a extra power connector MARKED P14, I found it after taking apart the PC. As far as mounting, there screw holes 9.5cm x 4.5cm , I'm just going to use DB tape to mount.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sorry DaveW you are giving out bad information. True there is a 3rd Sata connector on the motherboard for use. The problem is in regards to the power connector on the motherboard that goes to the drives. If you chase the cables they only go to the ODD and 1TB drive. There only 2 power connectors provided plus there is not much room for a third device. So no you cannot add a Third Drive (SSD) per the cabling for power and space.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yeah you can add a 3rd drive. There should be an additional SATA power cable inside. The bottom half of the drive cage (RH side in the pic) has some lettering marking the spot as "C-2nd 3.5 HDD#6-32." You may have to do some checking to see if you need a 2.5 to 3.5" adapter tray.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
