Hi,
I recently bought an acer r7 572G (europeon model) with a 256Gb ssd.
After looking inside the machine the ssd actually appears to be a mSata drive.
So the slot for an 2,5" hdd/ssd is empty. Now I want to install a ssd drive in that spot but I'm missing two parts:
- a bracket for the hdd. (part 33.M9UN2.004)
- some kind of special acer SATA connector to connect the HDD to the motherboard.
This last part, the sata connector, is something of a mystery. I can't find it anywhere listed. So far, acer hasn't been able to help me.
So my question to you other R7 users out there, could someone, with a Hdd installed in that slot (most 572 and 571 versions) please post a picture of the sata bridge/part (which connects the hdd to the motherboard) so I have some visual reference as to what I'm looking for?
I would be most grateful!
thanks in advance and kind regards,
Andrik
EDIT:
I included a picture of anandtech site showing the internals of the R7 WITH an 2,5" hdd. I circled the part I need. Hope someone can take a clear picture of the part or perhaps even knows the part number.
