Adding Secondary 2.5'' Hard Drive to Laptop

[Bilal3432]

Hello,

I am looking to add a secondary hard drive in this laptop, which I bought recently from  Curry's. This specific model 15-dk0501na came with a 256GB M.2 Nvme pre-installed. I was wondering if there is a secondary bay to support an addition internal hard drive, and if yes what components do I need to accomplish this task, like brackets, screws etc?

I tried opening up the back cover too see inside but there seem to be no way to get inside as the back cover is very firmly attached to the body of the laptop with no gaps whatsoever, I think an expert is required to handle this ? any ideas around this issue aswell ?

Looking forward for the right answers.

Thanks.

@Bilal3432,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to know whether you can add a secondary hard drive on the computer.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I checked the specifications of your computer and see that you can add a secondary hard drive on the computer. You need to purchase a bracket and the hard drive cable to connect the hard drive.

Please refer to the below service guide (Page 2 and Page 20 for part details) for your computer for more details.
