Adding a 2nd HD to my VPCEC1C5E

[Bubbster]

Hi all,

Just bought a SSD to pop in my Sony Vaio and discovered that whilst I have 2 drive bays, I seem to have just 1 port.  Worse still it looks like it uses some sort of propietary ribbon cable to connect the sata drive that's in there to the port. 

I'm assuming I am going to have to order a new cable from Sony with 2 connectors on so I can use both my SSD and HD at the same time?

Thanks for your time guys 🙂

Thanks very much for that, although it does not seem to be good news.  Just going to buy a little enclosure for my 2nd drive and put my SSD in the laptop I think.

Thanks for this wonderous feat of engineering Sony...
