    I have a new dv9000t that came with a single HDD and was thinking of adding a second HDD. The primary HDD on it now has a cover with many fine holes/slots on it for cooling and the second empty HDD bay has a cover with NO holes/slots for cooling. Do you guys who have HP,s that were shipped with two HDD's from the factory have the holes/slots in the second HDD cover marked #2? Those upgrading to two HDD's may need to get the correct cover to allow for proper cooling of the second HDD.

    I got two drives in mine and the second doesnt have holes in it. It runs cooler than the first one in most cases.
