HDD installment on Probook 430 G4 with SSD

[kndk]

Hi!

I want to buy Probook 430 G4 with SSD and install HDD myself. I've read there is no mount for HDD, and I need to buy it. What kind of mount do I need? Most shops have mounts for 2,5 HDD to install in 3,5 bay. Is it suitable? What kind of bay is in Probook G4?

P.S. I know there is official kit for this purpose, but I want unofficial one.

There is no unofficial one. It is a proprietary piece designed by HP and built  under HP license. You might find a 3rd party knockoff but only a piece exactly like the HP part will work.

(3) Hard drive cover 905736-001

Service Manual

See pages 22 and 34. You might be able to jerryrig another way to hold the hard drive from rattling around in the bay but if you don't keep it held tight the vibration will kill it prematurely.

Post back if you need to find it elsewhere.

Thanks for clarification. 

I tryed to find this mount in Russia, St. Petersburg, but as I understood there is no official shop in my country, and I was a little bit lazy to look for it on numerous sites of official partners and resellers.

Maybe there is more convenient way to find it, would be very grateful if you show me how.

Could not find it on eBay Germany or UK...did you try using that EU site I linked? They have a contact link and I was able to set up a cart just not sure where they will ship. Russia is a problem as I have no idea how the computer parts market works over there.
