Hello
just what do I need to add an additional hard drive to my desktop? It already has a 512 SSD plus a 3T hard drive. There is room for another drive but I think it may need a bracket and ATA cable.
Any help would be appreciated
thanks
Tom

Hi@tpm419,
Thanks for the response.
I didn’t mean to discourage you in upgrading the components on your PC.
I understand the need of doing it. You may still proceed with the upgrade.
As I saw the picture once again and would like to confirm that yes, you can still go ahead and add the hard drive with a standard SATA cable.
That shouldn’t cause any problems. I meant to inform you that the warranty on your HP PC will not cover the part that you upgrade to your requirements.
Hope the information shared will help you. Please share for more.

Hello@tpm419,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I have read your post and understand that you need assistance in understanding the upgrade of hardware on your PC. I will definitely help you.
The bay seems to be available for one more hard drive as you mentioned.
I request your top look for any extra black connectors to that of the ones connected to the current hard drive.
If not, you can get connectors from any local store.
Hope that answers your question. Let me know for more.

Hi@tpm419,
Thanks for the response.
I am not sure if you get any brackets while purchasing any SSD.
I request you to take the PC to a Computer store and have the recommended part replaced on your PC.
Saves time and hassle of upgrading yourself.
Hope the information shared will help you. Please share for more.

Hi@Democles,
Thanks for the response.
To answer your question, HP recommends not to do any hardware/software changes on the PC as the changes have not been tested by HP.
Any hardware issues due to upgrade/downgrade or hardware/software changes will void Factory warranty. It will be your sole discretion to do so.
Hope the information shared will help you. Please share for more.
