AT3-710-UR54 -- Second optical drive and 8TB HDD

steelfixer

Hello all

 

I'm buying a AT3-710-UR54 and hope to add a second optical drive and an internal 8TB HDD.

 

From what I can tell, there is physically space for the HDD, though I'll need to buy a PCI-e SATA card. My two questions on the HDD: (1) Can the motherboard handle an internal 8TB HDD? (My old Dell XPS can't.) And (2) is there a spare power cable for it?

 

Re the optical drive -- it looks as though there's a second tray. (1) Is there space for a second optical drive? And (2), again I get the need for a SATA port, but is there also a spare power cable for this as well as for the second HDD.

 

Thank you in advance for any replies.
