    I've just got a new Sony VAIO VPCEC2S0E/WI, i've removed the hard drive lid and it has room for a 2nd hard drive. However the ribbon cable only has the connection for one drive.
    Where can i get a new ribbon cable that has 2 connectors?
    This is a pic of the cable currently installed

    I'm looking into this myself - I've already bought a new harddrive for it and opened up the laptop to install it when I discovered that I needed a new cable for it. If I find anything out, I'll let you know.
