Hello,
first sorry if i am posting this in the wrong section.
i would like someone to tell if i can fit 2 hard drives in a laptop.
what i want to do is use a ssd for os and another for file storage.
and i dont want to use an external hard disk.
also can someone tell any laptop that will support dual hard drives?
thanks in advance

What brand/model laptop do you have?

 

[marios50]

i have a dell inspiron 1525?
thanks

From the specs sheet, it doesn't look like this laptop has support for 2 internal hard drives. You could still use an SSD as your OS drive, then use an external hard drive for your storage.

thanks.i think my laptop is a bit outdated.what do you think?
do you know any laptops that support dual hard drives?
thanks

I did a quick search on Dell and it looks like the Studio 17 can support 2 hard drives. I don't know what kind of budget you have, but you'll probably have to settle for a 17-inch laptop if you want dual hard drives (don't quote me on this though). Other manufacturers have laptops with support for dual hard drives, just need to check on their sites as to which ones do.

ok.i appreciate your work.my budget is 700 euros if that helps

hey guys do you think that the toshiba satellite a660-10x supports dual hard drive cause it says 320 + 320.if anybody knows please post

 

[soulbrotha80]

From looking at the product page, I would say yes. http://toshiba.com.cy/pages/en/toshiba_products/laptops/satellite.php?prod=189&cat=2

then do you think that if i put a ssd in port 1 and a 7200 rpm in the other will each work indebentently. i dont understand the raid thingy.please help

 

[soulbrotha80]

Yes, that should work just fine. You probably don't have to worry about RAID, since I highly doubt this laptop supports it.

 

[marios50]

ok thanks.is there anything i should know when i install the hard drives?

 

[soulbrotha80]

Have you installed hard drives before?
