    Hello!

    I would really appreciate some help here. I recenlty bought an Acer Predator G5-793-78NU.

    I can't seem to understand how to 'plug-in' an additional hard drive when I open up the back plate. There is clearly a place for it but I don't know how to connect it. Anyone got any idea?

    I see one sata-type connection, but that's only for data, right? HALP :) I only got 256 GB SSD and running out of space after a couple of games.

    Thanks alot!

    you need a cable connector. which connects and translates to a sata port for the SSD.

    Thanks for your reply. Do you have an example product for this?

    yeah, just ask them for an HDD cable for your model. If they don't have it on stock for some reason, you can ask for a partnumber, that will make things much easier on ebay or aliexpress.
