This laptop came with an M2 ssd installed and also a hhd base but without a connector and it's cable.

I"d like to know which connector and cable should i buy to install  a hhd for extra space.

Hi,

The best idea would be to upgrade the M2 SSD to a much higher capacity SSD. There is no limit to the capacity. It will probably be cheaper and much faster even if you use one of the cheaper M2 PCIe NVMe SSDs such as the Crucial P1. Naturally, the fastest would be something like the Samsung 970 Evo Plus.

 

It is possible to insert a 2.5" HDD. However, you will need:

hard drive brackets        part number L19469-001

hard drive cable             part number L23889-001

 

Example:

On page 45 of the service manual you can see the steps to install the drive:

Hope it helps,
