To answer your question, I'd like to add a drive, and I'm not 100% sure on the pros and cons of internal and external. I know external costs more. I found a site that shows how to add an internal, and a cooling fan if it seems necessary. I was thinking more along the lines of internal, though. --------------- I went through the same thinking with my PM7600. I finally went for a second internal HD. Opening the 7600 was dead easy, and I had the lower bay exposed in about 3 minutes. I slid my new 3.2 gig HD into the opening and plugged it into the remaining 50-pin SCSI port, and plugged in the power connection, and that was it! No problems, and it works fine. There are details to settle on first, like assigning a number to the new drive, but it really isn't a hard job to do on these machines. Good luck!
