    Posted: 02 May 2014 at 4:41pm
I been thinking about buying a Vanquish II level 4 I just have a couple of question

1 is there any way to customize Vanquish II meaning if I want bigger hhd or another os like windows 7?

2 is there room to put in a 3 hard drive and if not can a Samsung 120 gb be upgraded to a Samsung ssd 1 tb or lower drive

3 this is a question for anyone who bought Vanquish II level 4 is there any thing on the Samsung 120gb ssd card ?like the Os it proubly on the 1tb drive but just checking

4   Is the power supply big enough handle 3 rd hhd or a bigger hhd

As you can tell I don't know much about computers but if I have to install a bigger hhd if the hhd I am replaseing has nothing on it do I just unhook hhd with it unplugged off course and hook larger one in and power it up?

The Vanquishes are prebuilt and can't be customized. There are i believe 8 expansion slots for the drive bays. The OS is installed on the SSD drive.

The motherboard in the Vanquish II Level 4 has 2 SATA 6Gbps ports and 2 SATA 3GBps ports. So you will only be able to add one more drive. One is used for the SSD, one for HDD and one for the Optical drive. You could add another SATA controller card the it in the lower PCIe 1x slot, those are not particularly expensive.

The Vanquish line are the best price performance DS offers, since they are sold as is and pre-built.

Correct.   You can add another drive without the need for any cards and the power supply is plenty. Drives use very little juice.
