8951G-9600 Add Second drive

Hello, I have an 8951G-9600 and want to add a second drive. The one I have is failing and I want to go back with two. The second bay doesnt have a cable, so I will need to purchase one. I have looked on acers website but cannot find any info. Acers documentation doesn't list any info. This is strange that this was a selling feature without any other info. I tried to contact Acer but since im out of warranty it will cost to find out if they offer one. I have found some online but all seem to be out of stock right now. Does anyone know how I may find this cable? Or is there another way to contact the acer store possible to lookup a part? Thanks.

dont think acer store have component parts only accessories like battery

maybe chat support or email for getting part numbers on what needs to do it?

if your hard drive is starting to go bad MAKE BACKUPS IMMEDIATLY ALSO MAKE AN IMAGE COPY OF AT LEAST THE <PQSERVICE> FACTORY RESTORE PARTITION using Macrium Reflect/Acronis or similar so you will be able to make new copies of recovery disks or do an alt+F10 factory re-install. Also it would be very rare if they had used a funky type cable for the drive (unless the drive end is built into the drive caddy) you only need to find the secondary SATA connector on the MOBO and buy a SATA data cable that will reach from there to the drive, and a SATA power cable (if there is a connector) or a 'Y' power cable if not, if the drives require a separate cable for power.
