    Is it possible to put an old ATA/IDE drive in the studio 17 as a second drive?

    I suppose if you use a ATA/SATA adapter. But there may not be room for that. And I wouldn't recommend using ATA anymore anyways.

    Sata 3.0 drives are really cheap now - I recently bought a second 320gb 7200rpm drive from newegg for under $100 shipping incl.
