Hi.

As mentioned above, I have a dell optiplex 760. I already have a 160GB and 250GB installed. I was hoping to add another 500GB but don't know if it'll fit. Will it need more power. I have a 255w psu.

Also I have a spare Laptop 2.5" HDD. Can I also add that or does it require something extra.

Thanks in advance.

There are only 4 SATA sockets on the MB. 2-2.5" laptop HDD fit in the floppy bay. This would leave no CD/DVD unless you went USB for that. There are PCIe 1x SATA expansion cards also. 3.5" HDD will fit in 3.5" floppy bay. There may be fewer SATA in the SFF, or USFF sizes.
