    I'm thinking of getting a 1520 and have one 2.5" laptop hard drive at home. I'm wondering if i can put it in the 1520 once i get it. thanks

    If it's a SATA drive, you can install it; however, the 1520 does not support 2 disks at the same time.

    What do you mean by this ? Only if the provision is made inside the laptop to support one more hard drive it shall be able to support.... I dont think there is free space inside the laptop to place another extra hard drive....
