You can install either one full-height or two half-height hard
disk drives in the internal drive bay.
If you are installing a hard disk, it is best to install it in the
internal bay. This reserves the external bay for any devices that
need to be accessible from the outside, such as a diskette drive
or tape drive. If you prefer, however, you can install a hard disk
in the external bay.
