I bought an Acer Aspire 3 but was concerned about storage space so I also bought a 1Tb Western Digital 2,5inch hard drive for it. It was very easy to add a hard drive to my previous acer laptop so I thought installing one for the new laptop would easy aswell. There's clearly a place for the hard drive, however this slot doesn't have a connection point for the hard drive's power and data connectors so I'm a bit confused now. I'll attach some pictures about the expansion slot in this post, maybe acer has some kit for connecting hard drives for this model, who knows. Hope someone can help me with this.The top right corner of the slot leads to this smaller bit with an empty SATA portThe top right corner of the slot leads to this smaller bit with an empty SATA portThe expansion slotThe expansion slot
