Product: HP Pavilion Gaming - TG01-0040
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hello. I have a HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop and I love it. I have installed a 3.5" HDD but am also wanting to add a 2.5" internal SSD as well. Is there a special bracket I need to install the SSD into the PC? Will a standard Corsair 2.5" to 3.5" bracket fit on the back of the HDD bracket?

 

Thank you

@BigCountry376 , welcome to the Community.

 

When it comes to adding SSD's to your computer you can think out of the box.  Any way that you figure out to install one, as long as it works, should not be a problem.  Many people use velcro to install them.  The only caveat that I will add is, don't install it where it will get too much heat.  This can cause early failure and diminished performance.

 

Make certain that you have an extra SATA power cable/connector and SATA data cable.  It may be that you will have to use a "Y" in both instances.
