I think you people are not listening. "That box" over there has space in 
its case for precisely one disk. The HP DC7700 SFF I'm typing this on 
accommodates two, provided that I don't have a floppy (I do not) or a 
card reader (would be handy), and it has two.

If I replace the disk in "that box," probably I'd be replacing its 120 
Gbyte drive with 1 Tb and not be in the least interested in retaining 
the old one (with smartmon says reports errors, though the self-tests 
come up clean). And since hotswap isn't supported, that feature isn't 
relevant to me either.
