Satellite P300-20h - Is second HDD possible?

Hi,

I have a p300-20h. On the underside there seems to be a space for a second hd.
The underside of the cover for the second hd has sticks that stop me from installing the second hd.
Is this to deter the installation of a second hd?

Does the second HDD bay contains the HDD connectors?
If yes, the 2nd HDD is possible

My brother has P300 and upgrade with second HDD was possible. Remove HDD cover for second HDD and check if HDD connectors are available. If connector is there you can put second HDD and use your P300 with two HDDs.

Macius,

Thanks for your response. I have the hard drive connectors. The problem is that when I have a drive in place I cannot close the cover because of the cover extensions. Did your brother purchase another cover or did he saw off the extensions? Thanks.

Two plastic pieces were long and we have cut them off. After doing this we were able to close it properly.
