Hi,

I have bought a SSD-drive, and want to keep the orignal one to save my data to. According to Asus support, there is a way to have two HDD´s in this model, but the can´t tell me how to attach the second HDD, Anyone here that have any ideas?

Not aware of the 2nd hard drive possibility on this model. I might be wrong. Sure thing to find out is to open up the back (bottom) and see if you have an extra slot somewhere

cheers ...

Thanks. I will try that, but I'm a little bit unsecure how to open it.

 

Cheers.

There is only a pay for 1 hard drive in this model.  However you could remove the DVD drive and buy a caddy fro a hard drive and put the second hard drive in that slot.  I've already upgraded mine from the original 500Gb to 750GB but i want to upgreade it further to 1000GB.  Does anyone  know whether the larger 12.5 mm high 1TB drives will fit in this model?

1TB 9.5mm drives are now available for notebooks (Western Digital and Toshiba) for cheap.

Many thanks QHN, that's good news.  The WD 1TB 9.5mm model (WD10JPVT) is now available in the UK at around GBP90 (around a GBP10 premiem to the 12.5mm model).  Hopefully once the Toshiba drives also come on stream it will put some downward pressure on the prices.  It's going to be a useful upgrade for those like myself perpetually running out of laptop hard drive  space.

You might want to check out amazon.co.uk on that Western Digital. Doubt that Toshiba can beat the price, just yet

cheers ...

Thanks QHN  but I can only find the 12.5mm WD drive on Amazon UK as yet (cost around GBP83) , various smaller UK etailers do seem to be  advertising the 9.5mm drives so I'm sure they will become more common shortly.
