Hey guys,

I am new here, and a complete noob when it comes to mods.
I have recently purchased an HP HDX 18t that came with a 500gb WD 5400 SATA. There is an expansion bay on the other side. My question is: Is it okay for me to get an HDD that is 7200 for the other side? Will the motherboard support 2 different speed HDDs?

Sorry if I'm not making any sense. I really am a noob that needs help.

Go ahead, there is not restriction on this. The speed you are talking about is the revolution rate, in rpm, of the disks inside. That has an impact on the speed of data access for that drive, but the rest of your computer system does not need to worry about that, match it, or anything.
