[Optimus IV 17.3"] 2nd hard drive installation by myself

[cukrus]

Hello, I am planning to put a 250gb HDD from my ACER aspire d255 to my optimus.
Currently I have intel 330SSD. [primary]
I want to install a second one somewhere (the one from acer)

Is it hard to find where it is? Can someone give me a photo of where it approximately is?

WILL IT VOID WARRANTY ?

Is there anything else that I should know?

Found some info here https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/foru...V-Changing-Hard-drive-Second-hard-drive/page2

but it's about the bay in the dvd drive, I want to use the "inside" one. Do I need to buy a case to put the hdd in before I put in my laptop or is it there?

It's extremely easy to find.

It will NOT void the warranty.

The 2nd HDD bay is in the same compartment where the RAM, GPU and CPU are, (it's the large panel on the underside.)

I have a review of the 15" version on the forums with pictures indicating where the 2 other HDD's go. Here. I'm pretty sure the layout should be very similar to yours.

Hope this helps.

Make sure you use the shims supplied.
