Second hard drive

[JerzySS]

I recently recive new laptop. I very like it, but i have some issues with its ssd size (125 gb). I want to add second drive to it, but I have some problems with identyfying right parts that I need to do so.  

I know that I need:
- Rubber sleeve (part number 924283-001 will be ok?)
- SDD drive ( I think about: Crucial MX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD - CT1000MX500SSD1(Z))

- Connector cable (i dont know whitch one)

I will very appreciate any advice.

PS: Will this set work for me?

Couple things. 1. it does not use a rubber sleeve for the hard drive you need the three parts above. 

2. Your M.2 SSD is in an adapter sled occupying the space where you want to put the 2.5 inch SSD. You would have to remove the hardware you have and then move the M.2 disk over to a dedicated M.2 slot to the right which I can show you how to do if still interested after I explain all this. 

The cheapest and best thing for you to do is to forget the 2.5 inch drive and just put in a larger 500 gig M.2 disk instead of the 128. The 500 gig M.2 will cost no more than the 500 gig 2.5 disk you ask about and you already have all the mounting hardware you need. To buy the hardware to mount and attach a 2.5 inch disk might cost $50 or so over and above the cost of the disk. If you want to keep the original 128 there is a place to put the original 128 gig M.2 in addition to the 500 gig M.2.

Thank You for answer!

You'r right - using M.2 disc is the best solution for me. 

Last question - I want to install 1TB M.2 disc, and keep in addition my 125 gb. Should I expect some issues with this configuration?

No the 1 TB will work in the adapter sled you already have. The only thing not 100% certain to work is putting the 128 gig in the dedicated M.2 slot. In some cases on some models either the dedicated slot is not there or if it appears to be there it is not connected and activated. But your main goal is to get the 1 TB in there and that will work.
