I just purchased a new Aspire 5 A514 - 55 laptop, I have read reviews on there being a 2.5" drive caddy with cable either included or installed?

Is this true because mine has none, just brochure!

Can anyone else please confirm? Many Thanks :)

    some do some dont, not too sure why! If you pop the bottom is there just no cable attached?

    I have had a look under the bottom panel, nowt , zada and zilch.

    I have requested to acer whether it should be included and if they could send me the complete caddy......Fingers crossed.

    If there isn't a HHD drive kit, where can I find one? I found someone in Germany that sells it but the person doesn't ship to the Philippines where I live…

    Does Acer sell them?

    Contact the Acer Services store in Manila they will provide/install the 2.5" Sata HDD/SSD bracket and cable or will tell you where you can buy these. Their e-mail address is aphi.service@acer.com

    Both Shopee and Lazada offer these items online in the Philippines also😉
