Hello, I bought an asus PN40 from you (upgrade +4gb ram). Can I add this HD in addition because according to the manufacturer, there are 2 types of connection for the HD in the PC and the one equipped when I bought it is a M.2 SSD. I would like to know if it is possible to add this HDD to the PC.

Hello,
If, as you describe, you have an Asus PN40 with 4GB of RAM + an M.2 SSD, it is quite possible to install this HDD. Just make sure you have the necessary height, because this HDD is 15mm not 7mm like most 2.5" HDDs

Hello.
I bought some Barracuda 2.5p 5T drives and the connection is SATA III. I don't know your Asus PN40, but according to the technical documentation on Digitec, I only see one SATA III connector used by your SSD at the moment. So I don't think (unless I'm mistaken) that it is possible to plug a second HDD OR SDD inside the case. However, with a Port Connect or equivalent, you could add the Barracuda externally via one of the USB3 ports. That being said, in this case, I would prefer to buy a WD Elements HDD in USB3 (for example) of 5T at a price of chf 126.-- which is better protected than a disk like the Seagate BarraCuda.
