Hello, I'm looking for some kinda of Internal HardDrive Enclosure. Basically I want to add a 2nd hard drive to a clients computer which is a HP Media center pc m476n.

But there is no room to add another another drive & I rather not replace the current one. so I was wondering if there is some kind of casing I can use to add another regular 3.5" desktop harddrive in the cd-rom drive bay??

Thanks

You can buy brackets that do exactly what you're looking for. Here's a link to a set:

Perfect, thats exactly what I was looking for guys, Thanks

Now the question is im trying to picture how I would attached it to the side and the harddrive... I'm sure I could figure it out once I got it but do any of you have any pictures of it already attached to a harddrive/cd-rom bay?


Thanks

Its very simple, The bracket is designed for the driver goes right through to mount the HD. No need to worry. Get those backet, you wont be surprised.

When the brackets are right side up = U (as opposed to C, which would be sideways). In the photo at NCIX, left to right: U C (+ screws).

The shorter sides screw onto the HDD. The taller sides screw onto the case or attach to the case's drive rails.
