    Hi, How would you go about replacing the optical drive in the HP Envy (3000 series) with a secondary HDD. I have already taken mine apart to have a look down there and it seems like the optical drive has a mSATA or some other connector that I am not familiar with that won't directly connect to a 2.5" HDD. Is there a special adapter that I have to get to have that working?
