Aspire A515-45 2021 HDD bracket kit

Hello,
I just received my new Aspire V5 laptop with an AMD Ryzen 5700U, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVME.
I wanted to add a 2TB 2.5" SATA drive but after having opened the case I found that there isn't any connector neither a bracket to fix it.
I found out that usually the kit to add a 2.5" HDD is provided in the box but this isn't the case.
What's the kit's code and where can I buy it?

Here's a picture:



Thanks,

Hi Jack, thanks for the quick answer.
Unfortunately I'm in Italy and I can't fill that form but I managed to find the cable in Europe.
Actually I'd like to use the original bracket to fix the hard drive and not a self-made fixing, do you know which one is necessary on my laptop?
Thanks,

Alessandro

Part no. 33.HGLN7.001. About $10USD.

PS: You might also ask your laptop vendor to try to get the kit for you.

If you bought the machine in the US or Canada, you can request the kit at this link. However, I recommend immobilizing and protecting the HDD or SSD with antistat foam instead of adding more metal brackets and screws to a case that's already crowded enough inside. The only part you need is the ribbon cable to connect to the mainboard, part no .50.HGLN7.003 common to many aspire models. About $15USD. . Google the part no for vendors who ship to your location

Good luck. As I recall, a few UK & Swedish users reported that the bracket & ribbon was packed in the box along with their laptop purchases. I think one of the vendors was Curry's.
