Product: HP Notebook - 15-db1000ng
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I was wondering if it was possible to install an HDD/SSD into my HP 15-db1000ng since it came without one but I saw replacement Parts that come with the connector and ribbon cable which i would just need to install and insert a drive. My question now is would that be possible or does the motherboard miss components if the HDD/SSD port was missing from the factory?

Best regards Justricity

Hi:

 

It may be possible, but you will have to find and buy the necessary parts to install a 2.5" drive.

 

Below is the link to the service manual.

 

Maintenance and Service Guide HP 15 Laptop PC

 

Chapter 3, page 27 has the parts/part numbers you need to install a 2.5" drive.

 

Hard drive bracket                               L20455-001

Hard drive connector board              L20454-001

Hard drive/solid-state drive cable   L20456-001

 

While you have not asked for my opinion regarding this subject, I believe it would be a whole lot easier and less expensive to replace the 256 GB NVMe SSD with one having a greater storage capacity.

 

Doing that would probably result in longer battery endurance between charges, and less heat generated due to adding a second drive.
