Internal SSD upgrade for HP 14-dk0400ng

[Phlipsylon]

Dear community,

I want to add another internal SSD to my laptop (HP 14-dk0400ng). I researched quite a while and found some video that claim you could upgrade your laptop with an additional SSD (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBV-QXa7fkM). I don't want to upgrade my SSD M.2. But somehow I cannot find any official website from HP for my specific laptop type that says that this option is available. When I opened my laptop I clearly can see a free space for a 2,5 SSD and also a connection on the Mainboard for this type of storage.

I hope you got my problem and can help me. I really would appreciate this very much.

Best regards,
Phlipyslon

Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

It does have support for 2.5" drives but since none of the parts are there to add one, you will have to find and buy the necessary parts to do so that are listed in chapter 3, page 18 of the service manual:

Hard drive cable       HP part #  L23187-001
Hard drive bracket   HP Part # L24490-001

HP does not sell either part, so the only suggestion I can offer would be to do a search on eBay by the HP part numbers and see what is available.
