Y dont u just purchase an external hard drive? It would cost u more though. $150+ depending on the maker.
Hi,
I'm interested in adding a second hard drive to my HP Pavilion a700n desktop. I looked inside the case and there is no place or cage to attach it. I contacted HP support and was told I needed to buy a hardware kit from HP ($12.95), separate from any hard drive I would purchase. Does anyone know if this is really necessary, or can I just use the parts that come with a hard drive kit? I guess what is missing is a cage to hold the drive, and that's what comes with the HP kit.
The reason I'm asking here is because I don't completely trust HP tech support, since the first person I talked to said I flat out couldn't add a second hard drive.
Thanks for any advice.
