Hey everyone,

Was hoping I could get some thoughts on this without contacting Dell directly... My girlfriend's computer which you can see here:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CUAVXAY/

I wanted to add another internal harddrive since she does a lot of photography and is constantly having to move stuff off to an external drive. There's a 256gb SSD + 2tb SATA drive in there now. I wanted to add an extra 3 or 4TB drive as well. Does anyone know if I'd need anything other than a new SATA harddrive? Should there be space inside, and should it have all the connections necessary and enough power in the included power supply to handle the extra drive?

Thanks in advance for any advice. And if I have to, I'll contact Dell, I'm just assuming they're not going to be very helpful since it's out of warranty.

OK so just in case I'll order a spare sata cable (actually i might have one, i'll check first) when i order the new drive, but otherwise you think it can be assumed that there's space and power for the new drive in a tower like this with the listed specs?

And I'm pretty sure I have extra mounting screws laying around from previous computers.

Thanks
