I have a refurb Lenovo with a similar feature set to this one. I’ve been using it as a file server and it has worked flawlessly. (In this usage, external drives pick-up the files for off site back-up.)
The accessories that came with mine (keyboard and mouse) were low cost generic items. If I was using mine as a work station, I would upgrade them.
Mine is a nice workmanlike machine. Nothing more, nothing less.
It wouldn’t be problem, actually, if the 5.25" bay were vacant. An external bay is essential if you’re adding an optical drive or a floppy drive or a zip drive, because otherwise you couldn’t change discs. But there’s no reason you couldn’t put a hard drive in a vacant external drive slot.
BUT! The 5.25" external bay is NOT vacant. It has a CD/DVD drive already sitting in it. Probably one of the 3.5" bays is vacant, and the other 3.5" bay holds the hard drive.
