I happen to have a spare notebook HDD (my previous laptops mobo died,
but the HDD still works) which I was hoping to use with my new D610, but
I was disappointed to find out Dell doesn't offer a HDD adaptor for the
drive bay (where the CD/DVD-ROM is). I'm aware I can simply swap my
primary drive, but that requires moving 4 screws every time (two fasten
the HDD to the laptop, two fasten a little cover to the HDD). Does
anyone know if Dell sells the HDD bay cover seperately (that way I'll
only need to swap the two screws that fasten the drive to the laptop)?
I'm not interested in constantly carrying an enclosure with me, so are
there any other options? Lastly I noticed there's an adaptor required
to plug the HDD into the mobo (the board doesn't accept pins, rather a
new interface I've never seen before), does Dell (or someone else) offer
this?
Thanks,
