Need help finding hp laptop parts

[parabolica]

Despite being pretty IT literate I'm feeling a bit of noob asking this but I can't find what I'm looking for. I need to extend the storage in my 2 year old HP Pavilion and already have a spare 2.5 SSD so going to use that. My laptop came with a M.2 SSD - there is a bay for a 2.5 SSD but no caddy or cable which is what I need to find.

I'm honestly not sure what terms to use to search for these? I've trawled the HP Store and Amazon using "SSD/HDD/cable/caddy" combos but not getting any results. Appreciate any advice

I think the term you might need to search for is 'adapter drive' rather than 'caddy' which I think is what you use when you have an external SSD or HDD.

I replaced the stock HDD in my iMac Pro with a Kingston 480GB SSD a few years ago, so acquired a Newer Technology 2.5 3.5 inch adapter drive which cost £18.08, I think the price has risen a little since then to about £21 so is still very reasonable, link is: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005PZDVF6

Please check to ensure this adapter is compatible with your PC before you go ahead and order one.

Thanks - 'adaptor' seems to bring up 3.5 to 2.5 brackets but I don't have space for that in the laptop. Looks like I need to search for 2.5 SSD bracket - a little more digging on the HP forums suggests they are not available to buy which is weird.

Maybe I should just go with getting a larger M.2.

Perfect, thanks!
