Dual optical drive and dual hard drives

I have a OptiPlex 360 MT, Core 2 Duo-E7600, 3.06 GHZ / 1066: Question:  it has Two 5 1/4 bay slots with Dell DVD multi-recorder + DVD-RW + CD RW ultra speed in one slot, and the second slot has an LG SATA  24X super-multi DVD-RW drive.

I am installing a 750 GB SATA 3.5" HDD Dell hard drive. Using both DVD drives and the 750 GB hard drive , would it take up all 3 of the supported connectors ? is there a need to install dual hard drives ? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Hi Aviator,

The Optiplex 360MT has 3 sata ports. Hence, you can at any point use any 3 sata devices connected to it.

See the board diagram below

Also, download and view the service manual - http://dell.to/1JcaSU6

Let us know if you have any further questions.
