zbook add new hard drive

I have a zbook 17 g2 that has a SSD hard drive and I want to add a second 7200 rpm hard drive.

Will any internal 2.5 9.5mm hard drive ordered off the internet work?

It came with a bracket, so I have that, but will I need anything else like a connector cable?
(Or would once in the bracket, would it plug right in?)

Thanks!

 

Open up the unit to verify the connector is there (in this model, I assume it would be, but that is not true of all multi-bay notebooks).

Not any 2.5" 9.5mm HDD will work. Standard SATA and power connections a must.

(Not trying to be funny; you can get drives with proprietary connectors...).

Good luck.

 

Thanks! The connectors are there and look just like this video (minus the hdds):



The question is how does one know if a hard drive comes with the Standard SATA and power connection?

Are you aware of some brands that definitely are standard?

 

Great to see the electrical connections are there!

Potentially all brands are 'standard'. You need to be sure they are labeled as 'SATAII/III'.
