    Hi guys, so I just ordered a G75VW from the MS store (link below), which comes with what I think is a single 1TB HDD. Now I know the G75 comes with a two bays, so my question is, does the 2nd bay come with its own bracket, or will I need to buy my own? I plan to get either a Samsung 830 or an Intel 330 to put in. If I do need to get my own, any recommendations?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey I currently, own the same model except mine was the G75VW-TS2 from TigerDirect and I also put a Samsung 830 SSD in it. It does come with another bracket in the second bay, you don't need to purchase one. The only problem I had was the Samsung SSD I got didn't come with screw but my computer came with 4 extra side screws for the other slot.

    Hope you like it, for me its been the best laptop I've owned yet.
