This is the drive bracket needed for installing a 2nd hard drive on your Qosmio notebook. I received mine today and there are no problems with it except that it doesn't come with any screws. Not a big deal since there are 4 screws on the main drive, just used 2 screws diagonally on each drive.

Only $5 for the drive bracket, which is good news since Toshiba usually charges $13.99 for these. The shipping is $10 for 2nd day UPS by the way.

good find, and a really great deal
But way easier to just add a external drive for storage/backup and space and such.I Just bought 3 -1 terabyte drives for just 199 bucks on sale.

I installed a 2nd 320GB drive purposely, for when I take my machine on the go I don't want to have to carry around external drives too. If it's going to stay on your desk the external drives will give you more storage for your $$.
