If your notebook already has a 2.5" hard drive, you cannot add another one, but you can install a M.2 NVMe SSD and use the hard drive for storage.

 

If your notebook has a M.2 SSD but no 2.5" hard drive, you would probably have to find and buy the hard drive parts needed to install it that are listed in chapter 3.

 

Normally the models that only come with the M.2 SSD's have none of the hardware to add the 2.5" drive.

(16c)  Hard drive cable   L56898-001

 

If your notebook only has a M.2 SSD, it would probably be easier to just replace the M.2 SSD with one having a greater storage capacity.
