Product: hp 14s fq0011au
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi..
Is it possible to add SATA HDD to HP 14s fq0011au. When I bought it, the official store said that it is possible to add SATA HDD, but the cable and bracket sold separately. So I went to the service center, but they said that they don't have the cable. 
I searched in the manual, no clue about the cable part number. But for sure, there is a connector on the mainboard, it's an 8 pin cable.
If HP officially don't sell the cable, why they said that it is possible to add?
Is there other cable type which compatible with my notebook to use?
some type like HP 15s-dy has 8 pin cable too, but I don't know if it usable in 14s-fq0011au.

No, it does not support dual storage therefore no parts available. You can't add 2.5" HDD to your machine.

Yes it is support dual storage..it's confirmed by the technician at the HP service center which I went 2 weeks ago. But they said that they don't have the cable connector.

 

As you can see in the picture, there's the connector right beside the SSD on the mainboard. I took the picture when it was disassembled.
