    Hi, just wondering if anyone knew the model number of the HD casing or drawer for the multibay or where to get it? Any ideas on price too? Thanks.

    Thanks Proportable. Do you know if it's also bootable from that drive?

    I really don't have time to do that, but I guess our site never had a picture of them up, so I guess I could try later today to shoot one for you....

    Scott you already have the Z70... the hard drive kit is just a travelers drawer (which you already have) and then a pcb board with one connection for the hard drive on one side and the connection to the computer (which looks like whats on the read of your optical drive... and then just screws to screw it down into the tray (you'll see those holes on your travelers drawer)..... But no cable.. it's a solid set up.

    could you tell me the name of the conector from the hd to the comp (the one the cd drive uses). I assume the other one is just a IDE cable... is there anyway to get these items without geting the hd kit? Im going 2 malaysia soon and they may stock such components... dunno...
