I have an Aspire F15 with an M.2 SSD and a DVD writer. Because the bay that normally houses a hard drive is empty, I have installed a second SSD there.

 

Now, here is my question: Can the F15 support yet another SATA storage device by replacing the DVD writer with an HDD/SSD caddy? That is one M.2 SATA device plus two additional SATA3 devices. Can it?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Yes thanks.

    Edited: The SATA connector of the DVD drive is also a SATA 3.0 Interface so your laptop can support  one M.2 SDD + two other SATA storage devices. I would suggest you this HDD/SSD caddy.

    Hello,

     

    Could you give me the first ten characters of the computer serial number (S/N)? Only the first ten.

    Why not? As the DVD driver is already a SATA device, it should be supported. You just need the right HDD/SSD caddy.
