G53SW-XN1 Second Hard Drive Quick Question

I noticed that Asus included screws for mounting a second hard drive and I have heard that they included the bracket/caddy for the 2nd hard drive as well for this model from Newegg.

The caddy/bracket was not in the box, so am I to assume the empty caddy is already mounted in the 2nd hard drive bay? I don't want to take it apart just to find out I have to go out and buy the caddy.

I tried finding the answer but only found that the JW did not have these brackets.

Thanks for your help!

 

I believe on the G53SW-A1 there is a second hard drive caddy already installed. See: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asu...-asus-g53sw-owners-lounge-11.html#post7435788

I'm not so sure about the other special retailer models like the XN1. This is as close as I can find for confirmation (question #2): http://forum.notebookreview.com/asu...-asus-g53sw-owners-lounge-21.html#post7478983

This one does not have it but it is a different submodel G53SW-QHDB1-CBIL: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asu...-asus-g53sw-owners-lounge-32.html#post7534838

You can just take the bottom access panel off and see for yourself of course.

 

Thanks for the help.

The XN1 from NewEgg does have the empty bracket/caddy with the padding/dampening material already mounted in the second bay as I installed a second hdd last night.

Cheers.
