About Toshiba Satellite back-side compartments

[markskayff]

I purchased a Toshiba Satellite A305D.
When I revised the laptop I verified a compatment in the bottom cover, that at first glance I thought it was for the hard-drive. Later I could verify the hard-drive was installed and in the opposite side compartment.

I really want to know what is this compartment for. It's quite larger than the hard-drive one.

Of course there's the compartment for the battery, the one for the hard-drive, for the memories, the wi-fi and there still one more, this one I don't know what's for.

I have searched in the internet, and cannot find any information.

So, any information will be much appreciated.

Mark.

I believe that was a for a second hard drive, but Toshiba doesn't provide the second SATA connector which makes it useless.

Thanks Jim.

It really looks like another hard-drive compartment.
But not really sure.

If someone else has further comments, they are welcome.

It is a second hard drive bay. The Intel version of the laptop, the A305 SP6906R carried 2 hard drives. The connector and consequently the second HD were removed for the cheaper AMD alternatives. However the chassis was kept the same and thus the bay remains but is empty.

Great answer vanunita!

I think this one closes the post. Much appreciated the two people who answered to this one.

By the way, vacunita sounds quite funny. Sounds like latin, am I right?

Suena bastante divertido.

De hecho yo mismo soy de Uruguay.

Saludos y gracias.
