Was missing the required cables inside to install the hard drive Amazon suggested to bundle with the machine, after 2 weeks with no ETA from Acer on when the cable would be sent

Despite the missing drive caddy / cable out of the box, I think this machine is worth every penny

Either the connector on the motherboard is damaged or faulty, or the cable itself is a lemon.

but i'm not sure if they have the missing hdd cable and hdd

Every youtube review for this unit explicitly expresses that it comes with a hard drive caddy and cable for me to expand its storage

In the photo attached, there should be a nice little cable there allowing you to insert a 2.5 inch hard-drive of your choice in storage below

but it was without caddy HDD and without SATA hard drive cable

In the process of putting the laptop back together, I caused minor damage to the case and the cable turned out to not even work.

I was delighted with the Predator's expansion bay option until I saw that I too was missing the caddy and proprietary SATA cable, which will require me to open up the laptop to install if I eventually do get both parts

The problem I have is the cable that wasn't included in the box to add the 2nd SSD

However, the one I received did not come with the hard drive cable or the hard drive caddy installed in the drive bay.

It took me 30 minutes to install the hard drive cable; 5 minutes to unscrew the 17 screws and remove the two doors on the bottom of the case, 15 minutes to remove the bottom using Acer's directions, 5 minutes to locate and plug in the cable, and 5 minutes to snap the bottom back on the laptop and install the 17 screws

It was still missing a hard drive cage and cable

:)laptop is very good and really I liked it, but one very big issue, missing HDD caddy and Sata cable

Frustrating that this new laptop is missing the 2nd hard drive cable and now have to open the laptop to install.

When this laptop arrived, it was missing the hard drive bracket, cable, and screws to install a SATA hard drive

Cable for hard disk installation failed
