    Hello,

    When swapping the M3800 90WH battery for a 61WH size and making room to install a drive in the 2.5" bay, is anything else needed? Like drive bracket, cable or is the 2.5" bay ready for hard drive upgrade? Planning to add a Samsung 1TB SSD in it. Also, has anyone experience with Dell's smaller 61WH battery? I don't operate my laptop much away from AC but he would be nice to get a good 3 or 4 hrs on a 61WH battery. Alll my drives, eSATA and 2.5" bay will be SSDs to, that shoudl help the power draw too.
