Installing An Internal Hard Disk Drive - Sony PCV-RX790G System Reference Manual

Installing an Internal Hard Disk Drive

Models that have one hard disk drive are equipped with an available bay
to hold an additional 3.5-inch hard disk drive. Your system can support
ATA-33, ATA-66 or ATA-100 hard disk drives. Sony recommends an
ATA 100 hard disk drive to take full advantage of the system's features.
The drive you install must not require front panel access. The hard disk
drive access light blinks when either internal drive is active.
