Socket for second HDD on Acer Nitro 5 AN517-51-782J

bca

Hi,
I purchased this model yesterday and it had 512 GB SSD on it.
I opened it in order to add second hard drive; there is a space for second hard drive but I couldn't find anything to plug it into. And I have no idea why it has only 2 screws. Is there something missing? How can I add second hard drive?

Hello,

Yes you'll need some parts to add your HDD:

Here is the list:

50.Q5EN2.004 - HDD CABLE
33.Q5EN2.001 - HDD BRACKET
86.Q1RN2.006 - SCREW M2x3 (qty: 4 - to fix HDD module/lower case)
86.MXRN2.008 - SCREW M3x3 (qty 4 - to fix HDD/bracket)

You should be able to buy them from this reseller.

Hello,

Why you wouldn't add a second M.2 SSD instead of an HDD? You have an available slot.

I already have an idle HDD but the problem is I couldn't find the slot. Could you point it out from pictures?
