SATA cable connector for the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-53AG

RohanNaik776

I want to upgrade storage, but the Hard drive I bought doesn’t have the ribbon cable piece. Is there a way to buy just the connector?

It says it’s no longer available

Well seems that the listing on ebay was ended, but this is just a standard SATA cable and all of them should just work, even a 3rd party one...So go for the cheapest one you could find and try it. Worst case scenario you will loose ~6 to 10 bugs but I doubt.

Okay. Thanks! I thought they were laptop specific.

Only for the lenght and bending direction everyting else is a SATA standard.

Sorry I’m a little slow. I’m kind of a noob when it comes to storage. So buying that one from Amazon that you sent the first time, is fine?

batmalin

Yep, should be OK.

Just one hint - find cheaper one as 18$ for a 6-7 cm. cable is too much.

Hi, I have the same Nitro 5 AN515-55-53AG.
I have found that there are different numbers of pins on different cables.

I am not sure but think that I need the cable with 12 pins.

Can somebody confirm this?

I’m not sure about the pins. I just got one from acer support because my laptop was under warranty.
