I would suggest you get another SSD drive that is large and can fit inside the case. Much cleaner this way and probably less complicated.

I agree that we hardly use DVD anymore. I will simply replace DVD with SATA HD. <br />

Hi,<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;I purchased a SFF PC that has only one HD space and it is already occupied by SSD and like to attach a regular 3.5&quot; 7200 rpm SATA HD as 2nd internal hard drive (not interested in external USB drive), but not sure if there is space for 2nd 3.5&quot; HD.<br />
<br />

<br />
Should I buy one of those USB 3 to SATA connector or somehow extend power &amp;&nbsp;data cable from inside of the computer?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Using external SATA Hard Drive as if it is internal hard drive

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
