2,5'' Sata Hard Disk Inside HP Pavilion 15-bc014ng?

[AndresK]

Hello! Pease anyone can tell me if my laptop  HP Pavilion 15-bc014ng can have a 2,5'' sata hard drive inside - besides the 512 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD? I didn't find any sata hdd conector inside - maybe I have to buy one ?

Hi,

It should be possible. You will need the hard drive cable and bracket. You can also use some strong double*sided tape instead of the bracket, however, the cable is necessary:

Hard drive cable       part number 858969-001

Hard drive bracket   part number 913937-001

So first check if the slot is present on motherboard where the  hard drive cable fits:

HDD

If the slot is there on motherboardyou can try finding the cable online in your country by searching with the part number or you can try HP parts store in your country

Example:

On page 39 of service manual you can see the steps to install drive:

Welcome to the HP Support Community @AndresK

You can purchase the Cable and Bracket but make sure the ZIF connector is on the system board first???

The blue cable is for the 2.5" HDD!!!

Make sure the white ZIF connector is on the system board???

I apologize for being slow.

When I started to reply there was no other response from anyone.

Between the time I started my response and posted, you posted your response.

I posted after you without knowing you had already posted.

WOW
