I don't believe that it is possible on the A30. I have an A33 and it seems to be one mobile IDE connector for the hard drive. The CD-ROM/DVD uses another type of connector. There are other external hard drive solutions out there...

What do you mean by connect a second hard drive to it? There are external USB hard drive enclosures that you can buy and it would work perfectly with the A30. Jeff

I bought a Kingston Valueram KVR333X64SC25 512 MB and it works on my Satellite A33. The A33 is somewhat similar to the A70/A75 in terms of specs (ATI Radeon 9000 IGP, etc). The RAM that I bought has a CAS 2.5 at DDR 333. Jeff

Don't personally own an A70, but my brother does. It's a good notebook. Advantages: Screen colours are bright. Pretty fast. Good solid machine. Disadvantages: Personally I find it a little bulky. The maximum resolution is...
