Does anyone know if there is a smart bay battery available for the m17x? It seems like the one for the m15x should be interchangeable, but ??

you can install two hard drives in it already... do u want three hard drives? you can buy a smartbay hard drive to install instead of having a optical drive in it... dont know if you could install the smartbay drive in a raid config though...

yeah you can install a second hard drive in the other empty bay and the smart bay can be either your extra battery or optical drive which ever one you need...

you can buy a second hard drive from like newegg.com but i dont know what format the hard drive has... if you just get a standard laptop the optical drive will be in the smart bay and then it pops out and you can place a seond battery in it to get longer battery life...

ah ok, i didn't know that either it thought you had the optical drive and then the smart bay was somewhere else.

how easy is it to remove the hard drive and put in two other drives?
