(maybe 2) I don't recommend it. I got one, but it fits in the "Mega Bay" and not internally, meaning you have to pop something else out if you want to use it. It's also not bootable according to Dell (in Windoze of course, dunno if it can be made bootable in FreebSD-- that would change my opinion a lot). I also got a CD-RW which provides 650MB of rewritable backup space which is enough for my data ... not sure if I can get that working under FReeBSD either however ... (just had the box a week or so) ... but the extra HDD has begun to look very much like a boondoggle.
