Should I expect there to be space to add a 2nd SSD once my computer arrives? I've got the 500gig ssd and 1T HDD coming with the comp, but I'd like to add the 850 pro I already have in so it doesn't go to waste.

The old comp had a dying motherboard and I'm just going to salvage the good parts for friends and family, but wanted to keep the ssd for myself.

While I know these comps are upgradeable I probably should have asked about having enough power for one more drive or if I needed a bigger power source.

I didn't customize much from the level 1. Debated dropping some of the memory down to 16g to save a few bucks, but mostly wanted to see what a basic DS comp will do for me long run. I'll probably do a few additional upgrades to this unit myself down the road, but felt it was a good starting point as my old machine has become a frankenstein of parts.

Yep, like DST said, plenty of upgrade potential.  The motherboard has 4x Sata 6 and the Sata Express(2x sata 6) for plugging in your drives.  Your optical drive takes up one Sata, your drives 2 more and your left with 3 more if needed.

More likely than not, the bays are already pre-wired (they were on my system) and all you have to do is insert with an adapter.

Hailstorm IIs are huge.Strong

Thanks for the responses guys!

I figured it probably wasn't an issue, but couldn't hurt to ask.

Nope sure does not hurt to ask, and if you have anymore questions when you are ready to do it, ask away
