    Nope, the M1730 only has 2 HDD bays,

    You can purchase an external enclosure to house your spare HDD, and plug in via Usb.

    :cool:

    Here are some on Newegg -> Link

    Most only hold one,
    Btw these are for 2.5" SATA notebook HDDs, not 3.5" desktop HDDs.

    You might do better on ebay, or a local electronics store, but there is one on Newegg for $10.99 w/free shipping with "so so reviews".
