I bought a refurb Satellite P200D-11R, great machine and found it had a 2nd HDD bay. I contacted Topaz, the UK Toshiba parts supplier, and asked about a 2nd HDD and they sold me a drive and mounting brackets but not the SATA connector. When I asked about this they told me that my laptop model was not designated as being upgradable to have a 2nd HDD. Some are, some aren't.
Leaving aside the question as to why they could supply the 2nd HDD in the first place I have 2 choices, either get a refund or try and locate the connector by another laptop model. I would rather try to locate the connector but I need the following info:
1 - Which laptops have the same motherboard as mine
2 - Which of those laptops are officially designated as upgradable to have a 2nd HDD
If I have this info I might be able to locate it. It is a simple screw- on part but I seem to have run into the limitations of Topaz's software and the intelligence of its staff, so if anybody can help here I would be most grateful.
Cheers
Mike
