How to Install 2nd Hard Drive in a Veriton X Desktop - VX4665G-I7970S1? What cables do I need?

Looks good to me , as Billsay say, check your length specs.

Cool. Thank you.

Sure, those look like the correct cables. You should already have mounts for a HDD and SSD:

If installing a 2.5" drive there, you use an adapter bracket for 3.5" to 2.5".

From there you reverse the process to reinstall, cabling should be somewhat obvious.

Hi. Ok Great I did not realize their is a 2.5 inch bracket underneath. So now I am wondering if I can actually add 3 more drives.

If I use this bracket(you mentioned) and I use a black metal adapter bracket for 3.5" to 2.5" hdd, which will hold 2 x 2.5 in hard drives. Going to try it. Thank you.

Well, there are four SATA ports in total… :)

Finally received the cables(1st order lost in transit), Reordered from an acer recommended site = https://www.acerparts.ca/product/50-vqed3-001/?gad_source=5.

Also had this in my laptop and re-installed in the Veriton cd slot and thus was able to add a 2.5 HDD, 1TB.

Used a 2.5 to 3.5 hdd bracket and installed 2 x 2.5, 2 TB each, hard drives underneath the 3.5 hdd bracket.

Bought a 3.5 hard driver, 3TB, from www.provantage.com

So in the end I was able to add 4 extra hard drives.
