    Is there anyway to add another hard drive to my Inspiron 1520, as in is there an internal bay to put it in? If so, does anyone know what kind of HD (sata 150, 300 etc, EIDE, etc) I would have to buy.

    I'd rather not buy a USB external as I want to decrease the clutter and power adapters so seems more fitting to add another if its possible.

    But if its not, anyone have suggestions for externals?

    Thanks

    The only thing you can do is either buy a bigger HD or get a external drive. The 150 does not support multiple internal HD

    The 1720/1700's let you have 2 hard drives, but not anything smaller.

    Btw brkhobowriter, how come you have a 1520, but a picture of a 1720 in your signature?
