SSD Aspire 5 A515-51G-53MR add aditional ssd

Olirobi

Hi, I bought this computer a couple of years ago and i recently bought an 870-evo ssd from Samsung. I am not currently using my SSD for this computer but it was in my plan to add the SSD to my laptop. However, when i opened the laptop i found out there arent any sata cable for my ssd and there isnt any any cover bracket for it either. I would like to know if it's possible to fix this issue so i can use my ssd in my laptop. Thank you.

If you live in the US or CA, you can request the 2.5" drive installation kit at this link.   If not, or the kit isn't available, you only need the flexible flat ribbon cable, not the bracket. The drive can be satisfactorily immobilized and protected inside the case with a few strips of anti-stat foam without adding more screws and metal brackets to an already crowded interior. Google search part no. '50.GP4N2.004' for the FFC cable for vendors who ship to your location. About $15usd. If you feel better adding more screws and metal inside, you can also get the bracket part no. 33.GP4N2.002. Also about $15usd.
