Good mornig
I'd like to know if it is possible to add a secondary disk (ssd) to my HP PAVILON 550-111 nl,
I have looked into the computer and seem to me that on the motherboard there is only 2 connection, one for th primary HD and one for the cd lector.
In this case can I connect the secondary disk with the cd cable (it means disconnecting the cd)
Thanks

Hello
From what I can see there would be three!
dark blue, light blue, white , not ?
But that doesn't change much if you don't have a free slot!
unless you find a small corner and a trick to place it!
It remains to be seen how the sata power supply connectors are, sometimes it is special with these new computers
NB, I just realized that it is an ultra slim drive, I don't know if you can adapt the SSD here!

Thanks Prométhée
I have seen the three connectors but, due to the different colours, I didn't know if they were OK for my SSD,
For alimentation I have enough connectors
Anyway I have tried and it seems to works
Thanks again
