SSD drive adapter for normal laptop.

[Gabriel Nagy]

Hi. I had a hp convertible laptop with a ssd and crashed it beyond repair. i want to put into a normal acer 17" laptop with a 2.5" connector, can I do that in some way?

It would depend on what SSD the laptop had in it. Post model numbers and/or photos of what you're dealing with.

Is this for a permanent install or just to try and get data off it?

BTW what does 'crashed beyond repair' mean?

Drop it down the stairs basically. I will post the SSD model and my Acer's mode tomorrow and see if can be done. I would like to permanetly install it on Acer as is much quicker then the HDD. thanks

ssd drive is just a normal 2.5" sata fitting on it...will fit into Acer laptop just like any other drive

(Unless of course you mean that the ssd is a M.2 type drive? in which case you would need an adapter that costs about £20...."2.5" sata adapter for m2 drive"...google it....startech normally make good things.)

Clean install recommended but might not be needed.

Unless it's NVMe. No point giving recommendations until the OP has provided the necessary information.
