    I just got my 9170 delivered to me yesterday, and I want to put a Samsung 830 in it, but I'm confused about the layout of the laptop.
    Is there actually a secondary drive bay? Because when I open that up it seems like its just taken up by the DVD drive. Do I have to remove that to use the secondary bay?

    Yes, it looks like you'll need to remove the optical drive to install the HDD in the secondary bay -
