Hi team, 
Someone please help with below 

I bought an Acer Nitro 5  AN5151-54-599H (2020 model) laptop earlier this month via eBay with an internal storage of SSD size 512gb. I wish to ADD EITHER an HDD or SSD (1TB) to the internal storage but below is the issue ; 




1. I noticed the laptop DOES NOT COME  with a CONNECTOR to help bridge the internal HDD and the “board”. I DON’T KNOW the EXACT CONNECTOR TYPE and where to buy one from . Can you assist ??
 
2. If I want to choose an SSD (1TB) over the HDD , which of the m.2 SSD storage card will be compatible??? (I know there are two type; Those with “one mouth”  and the other with “two”) 




Thank you 

//Edited the content to add model name.

  • Have you contacted the ebay seller to check if the sata cable came in the box with the laptop? About your question, as one port m2 2280 is just pcie and supports nvme gen3x4 and the other is pcie/sata and supports nvme and sata 3. The sata cable is here: FFC CABLE FOR HDD 50.Q5AN2.004
