Second hard drives can only fit internally into 760 systems with UltraBay. They can also go into external docking stations, but that doesn't really count. I picked up a Bullet external, portable drive case from Road Warrior. I am going to put my old 540M TP drive in it eventually. It was a little flakey and required a lot of tech support to find out that it was incompatible with a 755CD setting (you need to set LPT2 rather than LPT1 in easysetup). My notebook doesn't have enough power in the keyboard port to make it work, so I need to get an external supply. Total cost if you need the supply is close to $150 which puts it on the margins in terms of value. Since it uses the parallel port, it is quite slow (the software test utility that comes with says 340K ?bits/bytes per sec read, and 613K /sec write-my machine doesn't have EPP, so your mileage may differ). I think it is bytes. It also loads up the CPU so any simultaneous operations you attempt to do in Win 95 slow way down. Despite all that, it is very compact and potentially useful. It has come in handy for building new systems by copying whole disks from place to place. I expect to use it as a relatively fast backup system as well.
