    Whats up everyone, I have my DV7T coming in a few days with one 320 gig HD installed.

    I read that you need a cage to mount a 2nd drive internally because it doesn't come with one unless you order it from HP with dual drives.

    Does anyone know the part # for this internal cage and how to get one?

    Thanks !

    Hello,

    Just thought you would like to know, I have installed an Hitachi 250GB drive in the second bay without the caddy! All is working after about two weeks with no problems. I just packed one side with a rubber grommet thing I had lying around so it wouldn't vibrate too much. Obviously this has so far worked for me but anybody could try this at their own risk, of course.
