Does anyone who owns one of these know if the motherboard has SATA ports on it, and if the standard 80GB hard drive is SATA or IDE please?
Trying to arrange to add a second hard drive to one of these without having seen it yet, and the Acer documentation is rather vague as to the actual spec. Some references are to two SATA ports, but others refer to the hard drive as IDE.

The Acer Support site suggests IDE only. See Here (Supported protocols section)My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016).
For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com0 -
Thanks-yet the generic manual for that series shows a mobo connector diagram with 2 SATA ports on it...No free lunch, and no free laptop0

Thanks, pretty sure now that it does come with 2 SATA ports as per your pic,but what I can't establish is whether it came with a SATA hard drive as standard, or some were IDE. I'll have to go over and have a look to make sure.No free lunch, and no free laptop0

If it's around 4/5 yo then I'll stick my neck out and say it's IDE.
