Product: HP Pavilion Gaming - 15-ec0013dx

Im wondering if theirs space inside my laptop for a second smaller SSD. Windows has crammed too much on the base drive and I want to play a game that requires strictly a internal drive, SD won't work, it hates externals and i could use the space for other things as well.

 

Im looking for an option because the alternative is i build my own ground up PC which is going to be alot more expensive then just getting a second SSD.

It has 256 GB SSD NVMe now. It does NOT have small SSD slot but it has a full size 2.5" bay for a SATA-3 SSD or HDD drive. You can install 1TB or 2TB or even 4TB to that slot using many compatible 2.5" SSD/HDD drives around.

 

You need more part which is the Hard drive connector/cable part # L72698-001.  You can order from
