[MatijaM]

I would like to add second HDD to my laptop.  If I order (copy from my hp envy pdf) 

Hard drive connector cable    813795-001

Hard Drive Hardware Kit          813796-001

Is that enough or I need to order some other component too?

Hi @MatijaM,


Manual: Page 34, 35

Your laptop came with 512GB M.2 SATA-3 TLC SSD from factory. This act as boot drive.

Yes the parts you posted, is all what you need to buy to install SSD/HDD as storage media. Why you need SSD instead of HDD for acting as storage? I would prefer HDD in view of cost.

Crucial MX series has known cause issues in HP notebooks of not getting detected in BIOS etc., as reported in this Forum by few members. I'm not sure if it would be the same for you too. I prefer Samsung Evo SSD.

Hello Make

Thank you for answer, but I think this is for USB connection kit.

Problem is in this, I surf the web and I found this two side:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn9YdyspKBo

https://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=614

Here is described that all I need is this two codes that I need to install HDD.

I also found the same component code in HP envy pdf file.

I order this from my local HP dealer (not cheap) and all I get was Bracket and ribbon cable. No screws and no connector.

On this forum I would like to found out if I get the right stuff for my order.

Newmodeus part you linked would be good enough to connect second HDD in the drive bay. The video you linked is what you need to follow.

Hello Dean!

Thank you for answer.

I select SDD because of noise, speed and no moving parts.

Than some day, when I will get all the components I will cross fingers that my HP will recognize the HDD:

Hello Dean,

So my next step is that I inform my HP seller that he need to deliver the missing parts.

New he wont additional 25€ for HDD board  843227-001.
