    Hi there,
    I'm new to this forum, bookmarked it as it looks quite useful. Anyway, I want to ask how I would go about installing a second hard drive into my Sony VAIO VPCEC1S1E/BJ laptop as there's a spare space in the tray, but I can't see any place to connect it, so I am assuming I need a similar cable which connects to the current hard drive with two connectors on it, not just one. If so where would I buy one, or rather what am I looking for? I am considering making my main drive a second drive and buying a SSD to become a main drive.

    Thanks.

    Sorry this has been discussed before, unfortunately its more then just a cable there is some hardware (a sub-board and or possibly a different mainboard) missing from the models that only shipped with one HDD
