    Good evening aivanvagilidad !

    Which EXACT model of the laptop and SSHD?
    Generally, the Firecuda series with greater capacities has dimensions that do not fit correctly in certain laptops.

    aivanvagilidad yes you can use an sshd as long as you have the kit to assembled it  but i wouldnt waste money on it they are useless you would be better with a 7200rpm 2.5" hdd (if youre looking for speed)  or even a normal hdd depending on your budget or if you can afford it go ssd in my own experience they are only good for older laptops and only when used as system drives apart from that nothing will cache in and they are slower than normal hdds when used as storage/secondary drive but hey its your money your choice :)

    do they use the same cable? the one that comes with the predator helios? and are they both the same installation? cause all youtube video i see is about ssd so i'm just wondering if they're the same when installed. thanks

    Both HDD, SSD or SSHD in the 2.5 "inch Sata 3 standard use the same connection and type of cable.
