Acer Predator G5-793 > 2nd internal HDD bay upgrade

Dariusdd

Hello, I wanted to ask whether anybody here knows the serial number/SKU/name for the part I pointed out in this picture?
I wanted to upgrade my G5-793 with an HDD caddy for more storage, but this linking part is missing from my unit (due to it not being equipped with a DVD bay).
Has anybody tried this before? Is there any commercially available alternative found on the internet?

Hi,
HDD cable Part number:50.Q04N5.001
Caddy Part number: 42.Q04N5.004
These parts are common for G5-793 and G9-793, so please read this thread for more information, you have to get the cable but if you use any soft packing material to secure the hard drive, you can avoid buying a rubber caddy, anyway it's up to you.

Colleague brummyfan2 has already answered. It will probably work, but you should see if the port will be active in uefi bios.

Nope, sadly what brummyfan2 pointed out wasn't what I need, I already have an HDD mounted in its proper place. I want to mount a caddy inside the empty space left where the ODD would have been in the G9 chassis, since the G5 doesn't come with one. The MOBO still has the connector, but i can't mount anything there due to the metal studs that block my path. Hence why I pointed out that part in particular.
@egydiocoelho I saw your previous response, but I couldn't get to check it out in time on my computer before you edited it out, so I am unsure which part you've linked there, other than it being different from the ones mentioned by brummy.
Thanks for answering by the way!

Yes, that was the part I was looking for! Thank you for the help!

Colleague @brummyfan2 had posted the correct information before me!
