M7300 Hot Swap - reassign to fixed drive

Hi,

 

Got an Acer M7300,

Since day 1 we've had consistent problems with the hot swap bays, so reconfigured it as two fixed drives using the spare sata fixed drive bay lead

 

So in all I'm using:

2 x SATA DVD drives

2 x SATA Hard rives

 

I want to re-use the two SATA connectors that connect up top the hot swap bays and connect them up to another fixed hard drive - is there anything special about these 'hot swap' connections?

    The Aspire M7300 series has a "removable HDD bay", but no "Hot Swap" drive bays.

     

    The connector for the removable drive bay is a standard SATA connector.
