Add another HDD in Amilo Xi 1546?

Postby e2zippo » Fri Feb 09, 2007 5:42 pm

Does anyone know if it's possible to add another HDD in an Amilo Xi 1546?

I know there are two versions of the laptop and i have the one with just 1gb and a 120gb hdd. I've heard there's room for another but i opened up the laptop and couldn't see where to put it. Anyone have any documentation on this, would be helpful, wanna run this baby in raid :P

Hi, see this thread:
topic,478,-Amilo-xi1546-second-hard-drive-location.html

But I don't know where you can buy the required parts, you should ask FSC.

Amilo Xi1546 2nd hdd

Postby isourmel » Wed Oct 31, 2007 12:26 pm

I asked about the possibility of adding a second hdd in my Amilo Xi1546 and the helpdesk in Greece answered that it it not possible to add a second one.On the contrary I asked a local service partner and he answered that I could add. When I asked the price he told me that the parts cost 57euros! Is it possible in Germany cost 20euros and in Greece cost 57?!!Only the service parts without the hdd or the installing costs

I think i payed about 50 euros when i ordered the "kit" needed for installation, so i guess it's possible. Installation should be a breeze though.

Thanks, I am thinking if it is more logic to change the main hdd I have ( 80GB) and install in its position a 160-250GB, as it will cost me about 100euros while with the kit and a 80GB add-on hdd it will cost 120euros or more.
