    Just bought a N71JQ and bought a Kingston 64gb SSD after reading all the reviews only to find out that the second bay has no connector. It has some molded clips that hold a small data line that I cannot see the end of so I don't know if that could be it but it would not be the same set up as bay one. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

    From what i could gather, the cable to connect the second HDD isn't there and very hard to find. You might be lucky and find it here: Asus N71.. Series
