Add a second SSD a PC Notebook HP - 15-da0059ns

[FelipeGarcía]

Hello:

  I've a HP - 15-da0059ns .

  It has a 256 GB SSD. I'd like to add a second 1TB SSD.

  I've opened it and there is room for it, but not connector.

  Is possible to add a new SSD to the notebook?

   Thanks

Hi:

Yes, you can do that, but finding the parts will be very hard if not impossible.

Below is the link to the service manual.

Chapter 3, pages 25 and 26 lists the parts and part numbers you need to add a hard drive...

(5) Hard drive bracket                             L20455-001

(6) Hard drive connector board            L20454-001
(7) Hard drive/solid-state drive cable L20456-001

In my opinion, it would be a whole lot easier to just replace your existing 256 GB SSD with one having more storage capacity, and use the HP cloud recovery tool to make a bootable USB recovery drive to reinstall W10, the drivers and the software that originally came with your notebook on the larger capacity SSD.
