There is a (proprietary) carrier/interposer assembly you need to mount a second hard drive - this you'll need to get from Dell.
WPAN is wireless personal area network - aka Bluetooth. WWAN is for a wireless cell carrier card - for broadband over a cell phone internet service provider.

Hi there. You need to get the hdd 2 cradle for the Studio. I found a company that sells them onlinecalled NewMode US
http://newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=187 - looks like they give you everything you need to install: SATA drive connector / interposer, metal bracket, four drive screws and screws to mount bracket to notebook.
Hope that helps!
