    Im sorry if this has already been posted, but previous searches have reviled nothing.
    Has anyone successfully added a 2nd hard drive to a Toshiba satellite p770?
    Are there any tutorials on how to do this?
    Thanks in advance for your responses!

    You would probably be the first on the forum to attempt this.

    Check to verify it does have the 2nd harddrive bay, and has available SATA connectors [some previous Toshiba models had 2ndary drive bays with missing SATA plugs].

    If the above check out ok, then any 2.5" SATA II or III drive should work. As for tutorials for your exact model, I am not aware of any.


    Good luck

    Thanks! it has a second bay, and it was marketed as an option for the computer. It however doesn't have the SATA connector installed. I've seen connectors for these Just with no real details on how to do this.
