What type of connector is this? (laptop)

[Pawnless Endgame]

Hey guys.

I opened up my laptop to check my SSD upgrade options. The main drive is an M2 2242, and surprised I was to see an empty tray/slot for a standard SATA SSD drive. I could do with the extra space! However, I not sure what type of cable I would need. Can you please check and let me know if it's a widely available type? That would be at the motherboard end, and then I guess it would be standard SATA at the drive's end.

Thanks

Ahh what it is - I already have the M.2 drive as per factory, What I found though is a spare slot for a normal 2.5" SSD. That's what I want to add. It seems like what I need is standard SATA at the drive's end and some sort of ribbon connector that goes into the motherboard. So I was checking what sort of cable I need to buy. The drive's (empty) caddy is already provided, just no cable. Are these cables generic or would I need to buy a model-specific one? Laptop is a Lenovo Legion Y540 15".

Thanks again guys. I was told to look inside my laptop box, which I'd never had thought of. It contains the part that I needed.

It's a bracket for a standard 2.5" drive. I looked inside, and indeed, there it was. Part number PK37A007X00.
