Hi guys.
So I just bought a new laptop - HP Notebook 14-bp008na

It comes with a SSD but I am wanting to add a second HDD that I have laying around. I've taken a look and there is space to add a 2.5" HDD, just wondering if you could help me out with what cables/enclosures I would need to get it working?

I have attached photos so you can all see what I mean. There's is space for a HDD but I can't see where to connect the drive.

The laptop should have the necessary SATA connection interface built in.
And there should be no 'enclosure' needed, unless you're talking about it going into the DVD space.

Yea that's the space in the bottom left.
There doesn't seem to be any information in the user manual about it, not that I can find anywhere.
I didn't see anything below the metal piece. it seemed to be related to the battery. I have the casing back on the laptop again but can take it off again if needs be
