Product: HP 14-dq2514la
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My brother has a laptop HP 14-dq2514la that has a SSD already installed and he wants to install a HDD because he wants the SSD for Windows and the HDD for videos and files. The laptop has space to install a second drive but it doesn't have both the mounting brackets and the flex cable adapter to connect the HHD to the port (this port is not the normal SATA port, but a tiny port on the motherboard where this flex cable goes).

 

I want to know what TYPE of brackets and flex cable adapter i need to install the HHD on this laptop

@Jose_Reyes 

 

Its  Maintenance and Service Guide  does NOT say it supports dual storage

 

           https://support.hp.com/hk-en/product/setup-user-guides/hp-laptop-pc-14-dq2000/36683209

 

Therefore no available part(s)

Thanks for answering,

 

Then why is there a physical space for a 2.5" storage drive in the laptop? Also, there is a port on the motherboard for a flex cable connector for the storage drive. 

 

Can i use a flex cable connector of another hp laptop that i no longer use for this laptop?
