Optiplex 7020 Small Form Factor
Have a Refurbished model on order and am awaiting delivery..
Couple of questions to the community if I may.
The specification says w/HD 46OO Graphics. Will this setup support dual monitors? If so what are the outputs.
If not I will need to install a video card. I can see the model has a pci express slot. I assume I will need a low profile card? Any suggestions for a reasonable all round model (not gaming) which will not put to much a load on the PSU.
It is coming with a SSD, but no additional hard drive. I can see from the spec there is only one internal (3.5inch) drive bay. Can a hard drive be installed alongside the SSD (sufficient power and SATA board inputs?) which will obviously have the OpSys on it.
Many thanks for any iput.

Hi Geezer466,
Thanks for the post! While the OptiPlex 7020 does not support RAID capabilities it can support 2x2.5-inch SATA drives. See page 18 of the service manual for details. The 2 rear display ports and VGA can be used for multiple monitor configuration without the addition of an extra video card.
