Cable HDD HP Pavilion 15-cs3119TX (9FN16PA)

[HoaiPhan]

I want to add an HDD hard drive to my computer. But when I open the machine, there is no cable connection or HDD tray.

So where can I buy it? And what is the name of that product so I can search for a compatible connector with my Notebook.

@HoaiPhan -- from the 3rd picture, your computer has a M.2 SATA memory-stick, instead of a 2.5-inch SATA disk-drive (or 2.5-inch SSD).

I do not see any room inside the notebook for an additional disk-drive.

Have you considered an external disk-drive, connected via USB to your computer?

However, looking at:

is there a socket for a SATA pin-out of a disk-drive at this location?

From the image, I cannot see for sure.

I need information about Cable HDD for me to order, but inside the machine does not have any connection wires.

As for the HDD connector, it fully supports connecting the HDD, you can see the picture I circled in red.

Hi, @HoaiPhan 

HP only has the service manual for the older models in the series on the support page, so I don't know if your notebook uses the same parts.

HP Pavilion - 15-cs3119tx Manuals | HP® Customer Support

If you look at chapter 3, page 26 of the service manual, it provides the two parts required to add a 2.5" drive.

(3) Hard drive brackets   L19469-001
(4) Hard drive cable         L23889-001

Where you would be able to find and buy those two parts is anybody's guess.

IMHO, it would be a lot easier and better on the battery life if you were to replace the existing 256 GB NVMe SSD with one having a larger storage capacity, such as 1 TB.

Good. But, how does one get electrical power to the HDD?

Especially in notebooks and SFF (Small Form Factor) motherboards, the pins on a disk-drive (or SSD) slide directly into a socket, rather than having separate data and power cables.  So, if you don't see any such cables, look for a "female" socket that matches the arrangement of the "male" pins on the disk-drive.

Hi, @itsmyname 

On most of the notebooks with ribbon cable connectors, both the power and data are transmitted to the hard drive via the cable.

There are no separate power and data cables as there are in a desktop PC.
