Product: 15-ef1xxx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, I own 15-ef1038n4 with NVME only as a system disk. I opted not to have the 2nd harddrive included so that I could choose my own add on SSD. However I need the ribbon cable / sata connector apparatus which goes from the motherboard to the 2.5 sata drive. There are a lot of options that look very similar with the only difference being the pins on the mb side of the connector, and the twists and bends which shape the cable. Is there just one cable that works? or are the general specifics to the cable interface I need to search for? I guess I'm wondering the HP part number i need with possibly a link to where I can buy and any other relevant thoughts someone can offer. 

 

Thank you,

Ryan

The series does not offer dual storage options therefore no available parts for 2.5" HDD/SSD
