I want to buy a new laptop. I have a SSD on my old Toshiba A300 which has two hard drive bays and I'm really happy with it. Now I want to have two bays on my new laptop, too, so I can use both HDD and SSD at once.
Is there a way to understand if the device has two bays? Maybe from the motherboard? I'm not sure if on each manufacturer website this kind of information is present but I think most of them are writing it.
If you can live without an optical drive in your new machine then you can get an adapter to allow you to put a SATA drive in the optical bay, replacing the optical drive there.
Almost every manufacturer releases some sort of spec sheet for their hardware builds. In this case, Google is a great resource to find the specs you are looking for. Simply search for the make/model with "spec", or "hardware specification", etc as your operative key word. Good luck, I hope you find what you are looking for.
The best way to find if a laptop has to bays to put drives in is to simply, take the panels off the back/sides that would usually cover it to see if there is a second one, if not, then you only have 1.
