Hi,
I've put a secondary Hard-drive in my Optimus IV 17" but it doesn't appear that you can screw it in?
In fact, it doesn't look as though it can be secured by screws anywhere so has anyone else noticed this or am I missing something?
It's normal, I assume it's meant for SSD's.
HD Bay 1, underneath the track pad, has no screws or caddy.
HD Bay 2, at the rear of the laptop, has a cuddy with 2 screws that support the HD.
Both bays have there own clear insulation plastic that's screwed on to your HD.
A caddy? Hmmm.... I didn't see that
*edit* Ah yes, just had another look and spotted some plastic screwed in that was removable. Sorry, for my initial blonde moment and not being able to spot this first time round.
The hard-drive screwed into this and is now secure so thanks for the input. Wonder if the drive will get a little warm, as there doesn't appear to be much ventilation in the second bay?
Thanks again
