    I was planning on putting a second hard drive into my G72GX-RBBX05 that is shipping in two days, and i was hoping someone could tell me what hard drive make/model comes stock in one of these computers?

    Spent hours looking now with no luck. Thanks in advance.

    Just a quick correction to the above... :)
    It is a 5400 RPM drive. :eek:

    To add a second harddrive you need to buy the HDD Caddy for the second drive. It is not included with the laptop. ;)

    Mean to type 5400 RPM (Thanks - [>>ahl395<<])

    I have heard you can place a second one in the laptop without the caddy. The caddy is 20 bucks from ASUS.

    Is there any other place where someone could get one?
