    I have a K72JR with 1TB of space.

    I cant seem to find the second hard drive bay. Is it under the keyboard?

    I'm looking on google, and there's nothing to indicate that it even has two hard drives.

    The specs page on Xotic lists it as only having one HDD bay.


    EDIT: Wow, just realized I responded to a necromanced thread. Gah.

    Forge it does have two hard drive bays according to ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Notebooks - ASUS K72Jr
    "Dual HDD up to 1TB". I guess Google isn't one's friend always :)

    Anyway I recently added to my 16" Asus laptop second hard and I think that bays on your laptop will be located in the same place where mine were. So I've did some quick "paintshop" with photo from the same page (Asus please don't sue me, I use it strictly in teaching purposes :) ).

    killkenny1 thanks for your answer, but I must first remove the entire bottom cover before I can get to the second hard disk?

    Of course.

    EDIT: just noticed that CPU can't be located in that place, cuz optical drive is there xD lol. Anyway, HDD should be somewhere where I pointed.
