Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 16, 2020 Moderators Share Posted September 16, 2020 Theres's only 1 sata port in the system. Do you mean the caddy where the media drive is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esmith1966 Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Yes.. the caddy that usually has a CD or DVD drive... One can put an SSD or hard drive into that slot as a 2nd drive. (backup drive, extra data HD...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
