Adding a second harddrive to MSI GS70 possible?

[Robbsy]

So i just picked up the GS70 stealth pro (870m with 128gb SSD + 1TB HDD) and i wanted to know if it's possible to add another harddrive to it. I have a 2.5" 9mm 750GB HDD and at the moment i'm just using it as an external drive but wanted to know if it's possible to just put it inside.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hi Robbsy!

Nice choice with the GS70 Pro, I hope it is as nice as we think it is.

The GS70 Stealth Pro can have only 1 main HD (1TB or bigger if you upgrade), but can have 2 Msata drives.

Hope this helps!

What thickness drives can you get away with in these? The 1tb on my GS70 is looking a bit full and I could do with sticking a 2tb in but they're usually a little thicker IIRC.

Yeah that's what I thought. Thanks for the reply!

Loving the laptop at the moment. Build quality is so much better than my previous one. Only thing i've noticed is it feels hotter but i'm guessing it's to do with the 870M.

Hi Robbsy

The 870M does get hot in such a thin NB, but rest assured, you have 2 fans in there, and it's well withing Nvidia's guidelines of heat

Enjoy this matey, and if you have any issues, please give me a shout!
