    My laptop comes with just one HDD to begin with. I want to add the second HDD of course.

    Does the M17x R2 come with the 2nd HDD caddy/interposer even if it doesnt come with the 2nd HDD from factory?

    Also if i put in the 2nd HDD, will it automatically ask if I want to set RAID 0?

    Please help!!!!
