installing second HDD

Earth-is-Flat · ‎05-19-2021

My device: HP TP01-1045m. How do I add a second hard drive, 3.5 in? Does this model have the necessary cable on the machine itself or do I need to purchase a new one for the hard drive? I have done this before on other machines and I added RAM to this one; just checking before I open the box again because I did not see a SATA cable the first time I looked. Thanks in advance.

Hello
hp does not provide information on internal cables available or not
that said, in most cases the sata data cable is not delivered!
direct verification is the best option
See if you have the sada power supply cable, because if not included, it can be more complicated
And of course do you have a location for the hard drive?
