Installing a Second SSD in an HP Notebook PC - 15-ac023ur

[alpat74]

Good day. There is an HP Notebook PC - 15-ac023ur. I want to connect a second SSD carrier, the JODD connector is soldered to the board and, as I understand it, I need an appropriate cable with the corresponding connector on the end. Help in choosing.

Hi,

There is only room for one SSD. By replacing the mechanical 2.5" HDD with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD,

There is no other place for a drive unless you use a caddy instead of the DVD player.

Hope it helps,

David

I plan to use caddy instead of the DVD player, but I need a connector to install it. So I'm looking for him. For example, such, but I don’t know whether it will suit or not.

Hi,

You already have a DVD player in the notebook. So you only need to remove the DVD player and use a caddy which will fit in the slot and connect to the DVD connector which is part number 813956-001

example:

Example of caddy

Page 41of service manual. So, if you already have a DVD drive, you only need a caddy that will connect to the DVD connector in the notebook.

If you install an SSD, you should install in place of the HDD and put the HDD in the caddy.

Hope it helps,

Hi.

We do not understand each other a bit)). I don’t have a DVD player now, but there is a place for it, a back cover with ribs that are easy to remove. Photo attached.

Sorry for my English.

P.S. Only, I want to place a DVD player, put the HDD, and in a regular place SDD.
