I recently took off the bottom covers to my laptop, an Aspire 6930, and one of the covers was hiding an empty space large enough for a second hard drive. The bit of motherboard that was showing had the solder joints for a SATA port, but no port.
What I'm wondering is; If I get a spare SATA port and solder it in would it mess up my motherboard and kill my laptop? I'm not concerned about a clean solder job, I can do that. But if the port is soldered in cleanly if there would be any danger to doing it.
It'd be pretty darn awesome to get a second hard drive in my laptop.
Please make a nice blog post somewhere and tell us about it if you do this! We want pictures too! – Eroen – 2012-09-23T21:15:17.423
