    Hi all

    I ordered my M17x with only one Hard disk. If I would like to install another. This does not void the warranty ofcourse,right? and is there some settings that need to be adjusted to do so?

    My best

    it will not void your warranty and you'll need the second bracket from Dell.

    Just call them and ask for it. They sent it to me next day shipping for free. Unfortunately the right number to call is buried in the owners lounge. Post or search there and someone might have the number handy.

    I don't know about the M17x but my M17 came with a spare hard drive bracket. Maybe they decided not to offer a free bracket with the M17x.
