Ok thanks for the help guys

So I have purchased a new hard drive and bracket for my MSI GT60-2OC. I know how to actually plug in the hard drive and screw it down, but is there any software I need to install or formatting I need to do in order for it to work properly? I already have an SSD as my main drive, this second...

That looks a lot like the one used already for my main hard drive, thanks!

I bought it used and it didn't come with a second one installed. I took the back of it off to see if it had one, the main hard drive does have some sort of bracket thing to mount it, so I'll see what the guys at MSI have to say. Thanks for your help :)

Do you know if that will be compatible with my laptop? Just curious because it's made by Asus and I have MSI. On a side note, I emailed the sales guys at MSI asking them the same thing.

I don't want to replace the optical bay, it already has a second bay inside for a second hard drive, I just need something to secure the hard drive to the motherboard

I'm wanting to add a second hard drive to my MSI GT60-2oc (laptop), but I need a hard drive cage or caddy or whatever it's called that you mount the hard drive in and then screw into the laptop. Where can I get one of these at?

Ok thanks. I think I'll go with a cooler with a bigger fan than the 100mm one you linked though.

I recently bought an MSI GT60 2OC-022US. Will pretty much any laptop cooler for 15.6 inch laptops work with this one? And what cooler would you guys recommend? (Only list coolers you can get from newegg please) And how much money does it take to get a decent one?

I'm thinking about buying this laptop, the seller said he would sell it for $1050: http://asheville.craigslist.org/syd/4595206887.html It only has a 256 gb SSD but I can replace that with a bigger one later, do you guys think this is a decent deal?

Ok thanks guys, I'll look for a different one, that MSI looks nice, I might buy it. Also, I already have a desktop but I'll be going to college soon and my full tower isn't really practical in a dorm room.

I'm looking for a laptop mainly for gaming. I found this on craigslist: http://asheville.craigslist.org/syd/4572297293.html Now my birthday is in September, and I have the money now for the laptop on craigslist. Should I get the one on craigslist now or wait until my birthday and get the...

Ok thanks for your help. I'll get the Y510p after I get some birthday money in September. Are there usually some pretty good deals on Black Friday and cyber Monday?

Also on a slightly unrelated question, the lenovo Y410p and Y510p can switch out their cd drive for another graphics card or another hard drive. Do you think the extra graphics card or an SSD would improve gaming performance the most?

Should I get a new laptop for college? I already have a custom built desktop that plays almost everything on ultra, if I got a laptop I would want it to be able to play everything med-high. I'll be staying in a dorm for college, my desktop is a full atx tower, is space going to be an issue if I...
