The Dell Inspiron 17R SE (‘special edition’) laptop is a lovely machine. One of my favorite features is the two 2.5″ drive bays which are easily accessible:
-
- One empty HDD bay, one mSATA port, and one filled HDD bay
-
- Two SSDs installed (one upper left, one lower right)
-
- Inspiron 17R Notebook SE (7720) BIOS listing both SSDs
So far RAID is not initially an option in the BIOS, but I think there is a workaround available and will be posting that soon…
Thx 4 the nfo. Did urs come w/the extra hdd caddy?
Hi Docubob,
Yes, my 17R SE came with an extra hard drive caddy pre-installed (even though I purchased a single drive configuration). I thought this was quite nice of Dell as many manufacturers do not include the extra caddy.
NOTE: I did have to supply my own four screws to attach my SSD to the caddy…
Best regards,
