HDD SATA Connector Cable Kit

[OlliB]

Hello, 

I'm looking for a new HDD connection cable for my laptop. The user manual recommends the 603676-001 hardware kit. Unfortunately, I can't find it in the HP parts store. My search results on eBay and Amazon were also unsuccessful. Where else can I get something like that? Or an alternative?

Many thanks

Regards

Normally HP does not stock older parts, you have to search elsewhere such as

Thanks for the quick reply.

This hardware kit is very expensive. I'm now trying an alternative option.

For this i need the user manual for my Pavilion dv6-3160eg laptop.

But unfortunately I can't find it at HP Website either because the support period has expired. Unbelievable.

Is the Pavilion dv6-3100 roughly the same? I found instructions for it on Google.

The HP Virtual Assistant gave me this link for it:

But i only get an "page not found" error there. 

I want to check the manual to see if my laptop has an eSata connection with power, so that I can connect an external SSD hard drive. This should also work to boot the operating system. This means I no longer need the internal hard drive.

Is the SSD on the eSata Port just as fast as the internal one?

Thanks for the help

I know that this link is broken. I wrote it in my post above. But that is not the problem.

I am looking for a manual for my laptop pavilion dv6-3160eg or for an equivalent laptop.

I want to know if my laptop has a normal eSATA port or an eSATA port, i.e. one with power, so that I can connect an external SATA SSD and no longer need the internal HDD. Is that possible? Can i also boot an operating system from an external hard drive?
