Product: Pavilion Gaming 15
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am going to install a Samsung EVO 860 512GB SSD to my Pavilion gaming 15.  There is 512GB SSD installed at present and want to add  another SSD instead of a HD.  I want to know if I will need to get a cable for the SSD to install it or is there one already in the laptop in the HD space?

You have to purchase the SATA cable.

 

 

Please get this cable from local stores.

Thank you for the response but you are mistaken with you answer.  After opening and wanting  to confirm whether I would have to purchase a cable I found that there is already a spare cable and HDD caddie present for the upgrade.

I understand your concerns.

 

When you purchase the hard drive the cable will not ship.

 

However, you are able to resolve the issue. 

 

In the future, if you have any other concerns. Please get back to us. We will assist you.

 

Have a nice day!!
