Can I install two hard disks in GX620 desktop?

Question

My GX620 currently has a SATA drive; I'm wondering if it's possible to add an IDE drive in the area where the floppy drive would normally go. There's enough space, but I'm not sure how it would be attached and I don't know if there's enough air flow.

This should be possible, however you may need to look to see if there's an available powerlead, or possibly get a splitter to go from 1 sata-powerplug to 2 sata-powerplugs. You'll also need to check if there's an available SATA port. The desktop model only has 2 sata ports on the motherboard; one for the harddrive and one for the optical drive. It does have an ATA port for an optical drive or harddrive. So if both your sata ports are already being used you may need to add a sata controller.

Thanks; I should have been clearer - what I meant was where do I put the drive? There's space between the optical drive and the current hard disk, but I can't see any simple way of attaching a hard disk to the bracket.
