Adding a further SATA disk drive.

[J4ckFl4sh]

I already have a SATA disk drive fitted alongside the DVD drive.  I'd like to fit another internal drive.  The cables are there but no mounting point.  Is there any method of securing another drive?  Thanks.

@J4ckFl4sh,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

To your question: "Is there any method of securing another drive? " -The answer is yes, absolutely: use Zip-ties or (double-sided stick-on) Velcro tape, like I did with my HP Pavilion TP01-3003w upgrade project: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/389354i8F8AE9B9DE71BD5A/image-dimensions/250....

I fitted my Pavilion with a larger-sized 650-watt power supply (which is also compatible with your PC, btw), but if you got the stock (smaller-sized) power supply, you could easily position/fasten one -or more (double-stack) SATA SSDs on top of the power supply.

Hope this was helpful.

Kind Regards,

Thanks for the suggestions.  I have recovered a 1TB drive from a decommissioned PC and will go the Velcro route to the casing floor.
