My Acer Nitro 5  laptop ran out of storage and I was looking to add an ssd in the drive bay at the bottom right of the machine. Unfortunately, I've lost the box which means I've also lost the sata cable along with it. I was looking for a replacement for the model I have now, the an515-54, but I only found models for an515-51s. So I was wondering if the sata cables for the an515-51s are still compatible with my an515-54 since they both belong to the same 50s series.

    Google part no. 50.Q5AN2.004 for vendors who ship to your location. Less than $10usd. It's specified for a few other Nitro models but not the AN515-51S, possibly due to different length and mainboard socket.

    Hello again, amazon isn't available in my area so I've found a few other suppliers but could you check if they are compatible since their labels may be misleading? Which of these two is better?

    Cables are commodity items with similar quality made by many different manufacturers. So the 'better' value is the cheaper cable if both vendors are equally trustworthy.
