Hi,

is it possible to install an extra internal HD on HP Pavilion 15-au119nl ?

I'd like to have the ssd with operating system and an extra hd for data.

The following link shows specs of your computer

It has  256 GB M.2 SSD now. It has room for you to add an internal HDD but you need a set of cable and other parts for the HDD.

The following manual gives you more details

From past experience adding a second internal HD to a 15" LT  chassis is extremely difficult to impossable for any brand of laptop. I'd recomend going with a a somewhat larger SSD as the only HD and using a external USB HD for backups at your home station. You see the problem is space and location, migration of drivers, OS, wares, and files can be accomplished by one several methods.  If you had a 17" LT chassis, it would be more possable, but still VERY difficult.

In my case I bought a new Gamer LT system that a SSD & a HD.  Since it has 2, uprades are pull, pop and copy. The last one (a 15" HP) is getting a SSD and be used for something useful here.

Hope this helps ,let us know what you accomplished with what U gott... Mike Z.

The important thing is that there's the space to add a 2,5" SATA HD on this model

Thank you
