Acer 5920 Upgrade

Hi,



Does anyone know if the Acer Aspire 5920 can support a second internal hard drive?



Also what is the maximum capacity hard drive that this model supports?



I have checked the user guide and website and they are unclear on this.



Thanks in advance.

I think 80% of most laptops can usually hold as much as the 2.5hhd will give



like 1TB 500GB 1.5TB



and i think that it can only hold 1 HHD. (from a quick search)

I've owned a 5920 in the past and can 100% confirm it will only support 1 2.5 inch HDD. So if you want another HDD, an external is the way to go.



I'm also pretty sure there are no limitations on what size HDD the system can hold. I can't confirm this 100% and if I'm wrong, hopefully someone can put it right, but I've never heard of limitations on HDD's on laptops, not SATA ones anyway!!!

You also have the option of replacing the disk drive with a HDD check it here:

Thank you everyone for your help.



Bo0bz - I really like the look of that solution. The webpage indicates that the caddy interface is PATA. I thought that the Acer 5920 optical drive had a SATA interface. Am I wrong?



Kind regards,



Kriss

There are cheaper solutions over eBay, you can check them as well, but NewmodeUS is better built.
