HP Pavilion 14-153sa
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, last year I bought a 14-bf153sa, it comes with a 256gb M.2 SSD, and an empty space where the HDD is meant to be located. 

I always planned to upgrade my machine to fit an extra SSD in the sata slot, but to do so I need to know where to get the internal caddy, and sata cable for my machine. 

I know they are out there somewhere, I think maybe I need a serial number for the parts or something to be able to find them. The series supports this, and had the hardware, the only thing it's lacking is the caddy and sata cable. 256gb isn't enough memory and I also want to duel boot linux from the second ssd. 

 

Here is a picture I found online of my model 14-bfxxx, with a hdd; the area in red is where my M.2 SSD is.

 

Thanks a lot for the help.

Thanks! I really appreciate your reply,

However when I search for them via that link, the option to "add to cart" lists n/a, would I need to find them privately or am I doing something wrong? 

Also, would I need both the left and right brackets for the hdd?

Either way, thank you regardless.

After doing a bit more digging I found that the US store has them (I'm in the UK), does the US store ship internationally?

So right now all I need to know is if the HP store ships internationally to the UK if I select the US store from that link.
