I have a 600E and I've upgraded my internal HDD to 20 GB and mounting
the original (6.4 GB) drive in a drive adapter in the bay is no problem,
at least under Linux. (Haven't tried under Win).

I haven't tried hot-swapping or warm-swapping with the DVD drive -- I've
rebooted whenever touching the bay.

I'd say if you're buying a new drive anyway, the price for a drive bay
adapter is sufficiently low that it's worth it.
