    Yes, you have two drive "bays" on the TC-866 models, it is actually a plate across the front of the machine with mounting holes for two drives. You should have SATA power available off the PSU and you will need to provide your own SATA data cable. SATA connectors are #7 on the diagram, #8 is the M.2 SSD slot, #18 is the other M.2 slot and only usable for WiFi/Bluetooth.

    The service guide isn't publicly available, although Acer does allow the Aces to publish snippets from them. For specs see if you have access to the datasheet: https://www.acer.com/datasheets/2020/4871/TC-866/DT.BEUAA.001.html
