TP01-2165z: Pavilion
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My PC # is TP01-2165z. I want to add a second Hard Drive and the Power cables I see are too large. I need one that will fit this PC. Your help is appreciated.

@ahalp2 ,  welcome back to the Community.

 

Here is a splitter that will add an additional SATA power connector to your power supply unit (PSU).  You will connect it to the SATA power connector coming from your PSU.  Also, you will need a SATA data cable to connect to an extra SATA port on your motherboard.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, that cable appears to be too wide. I just purchased something similar  from Amazon. The power cable coming from the current HD is quite small. Maybe 1/2 inch or so across. It has been some time since I last purchased a PC and it seems cables have diminished in size. I do not know what they are called other than SATA power cables... Must be a number.. Thanks for your suggestion..

Hello
give pictures of available computer cables, and your hard drive
Except for some models maybe, the connection cables to the ssd hdd must be standard
