Sony PCV-RX680G - Manual (Page 85)

To Install an Additional Hard Disk Drive
Your computer comes with an available internal bay to hold a second standard 3.5-inch hard disk drive. Some models, such
as Configure-to-Order (CTO) systems, may already have a second hard disk drive installed. Your system can support
ATA-33, ATA-66, or ATA-100 hard disk drives.
Note:
The hard disk drive access light blinks when either internal drive is active.
For detailed information on how to install additional drives, see the System Reference Manual. You can download the System
Reference Manual from:
