add a second hard drive to 15m-cn0012dx

[Shukaiwen]

Hello again,

I just wanted to say that the one Chiefgeek linked worked for me. I plugged it in and the laptop turned on as normal but I had to restart the laptop a few times for the computer to detect the drive before I could create the partitions on disk mananger. I want to thank the whole community for the replies and help.

I was also able to get a refund for the cable i originally bought but the computer wouldnt turn on after installing that one. Thanks ebay 😜

Hello,

I stumbled across this topic while trying to find information about how to get a caddy/cable for a second HDD in my Envy x360 15-cn0003nf and it helped me a lot. If anyone ever finds this thread (as I did) and is interested in getting one as well here's the info I could gather:

I noticed that a lot of different HDD cables I could find on the internet have a similar code that matches similar laptops models ranges, like '450.0ED02.0001' (which is the one matching my laptop model - i.e. 15-cnxxxx in my case, and possibly others). All you have to do is find the proper cable code for your model range and then with that code you can easily find a cable that will (theoretically) fit in your laptop.

I finally managed to find and order the perfect cable and caddie from Amazon. Here's the exact reference I ordered: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KR4YD9Z/

(got shipped in 3 days in France with tracked delivery)

For the record you actually get the cable and the caddie. WYSIWYG, basically. It was perfectly suited for my Envy 15-cn0003nf. When installing it be careful not to bend the cable too much (its size is close to too short!), and to plug it in correctly on the MB connector. Only thing is that the caddie with the rubber bands is almost too narrow to fit so it was wiggling a bit in the drive space - I therefore added 3 small pieces of rubber seals on one side so everything stays in place (as you can see on the picture, on the left of the drive). All in all it's all good. Hope this helps!
