Nitro AN517-51 and adding a 2.5" hard drive to the system - HD Carrier included??

hkstarkdpm

I'd like to purchase a Nitro AN517-51 system and add a 2.5" (750GB) HD to the system.  Does this laptop come with the HD Carrier included in the laptop or is that something that must be purchased separately and from where?   Is the sata HD cable also included or something that is needed to purchase separately?
Thanks.

Hi,
I think this model comes with a M.2 SSD and a HDD, you need to check the specs from the retailer and confirm whether it comes with a HDD as well.

Thanks for start.  You identified the Nitro 5 not 7.  The laptop I am looking at is one through B&H (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1513106-REG/acer_nh_q5faa_002_nitro_7_an715_51_752b_i7_9750h.html) which does have a 512GB NVMe PCIe SSD.  The case is designed to also accommodate an additional 2.5" sata hard drive.  My question is:  Is the hard drive carrier and sata cable INCLUDED in the unit for upgrade installment or will I have to purchase these two items separately?
Thanks.

Hi,
If it doesn't come with the HDD, most probably you may have to buy the SATA cable and the carrier for HDD but I would suggest you to wait until you get the laptop.
