    Are dual hard drive bays assumed to be in just about every (over 90%) of 17" laptops?

    I've seen models listed on sites that show only one hard drive and when you customize it there is still only an option for one. But then you find some pictures of the model or someone who has reviewed it.. and you find out it had a second hard drive bay all along!

    Don't assume, just search it up in Google. With a purchase like that you don't want to be mistaken.
