Acer laptop Predator PH317-51-73CH - connection cable motherboard-hdd - part number

VirgilF

Hello People,
I have a Acer Predator model PH317-51-73CH and it came out factory without caddy and connection cable for the 2nd hdd.
Is someone that knows the part number of the connection cable between motherboard and hdd? I found something that might be "compatible", but I would prefer to not pay 15-25 euros for something that will not do the job.

For the caddy I have it (33.Q28N2.001) in case if somebody else will need it.
Now I live in Netherlands, so a specialized dealer for this type of components would be useful as well.

Thank you in advance!

VirgilF,

Did you call the acer support for the caddy? You might get it for free from acer sometimes,only if the unit is eligible for a caddy from manufactures. if not you can get it from acer itself by paying. instead of having a doubt on other part and wasting 15-25 Euros as you said. Check the link below for acer contact.

Thanks for reply. 
I contacted Acer. They gave me the caddy part number and redirect me to the partner part supplier.
 But, the part number is only for the caddy, not also the connection cable (assembly). And I can't find the cable there, on the partner website, as deliverable part. 
So, I still need a possibility to find it somewhere. Easier way is to know at least a part number compatible to my laptop.
 For sure are other people that had/ have same issue as me.

nope. not necessarily.
if you buy a kit, maybe.
anyhow, I got a reply from Acer.

so, in case if somebody else will need them, these are the parts necessary for a Predator PH317-51 serie, to add the 2nd hdd, in case it came without from factory:

• 1 x 33.Q28N2.001 - HDD Bracket
• 1 x 50.Q28N2.004 - SATA cable
• 4 x 86.GCHN2.009 - Screws
• 4 x 86.MXRN2.008 - Screws

for Netherlands, Acer has this company as partner for parts: www.replacedirect.nl
