Need more help on 2nd HDD for Lenovo Ideapad Y710
In this thread https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24760290/How-do-I-physically-add-a-second-hard-drive-to-an-Ideapad-y710.html the final answer indicates an additional part was needed to attach a 2nd HDD in the hot swap bay of the Lenovo Ideapad Y710. I've searched the Lenovo site and found no reference for such part. I desperately need to know what that part is.
Does the first drive fit in the second bay and work? Take a picture of the connectors and the docking end - it should be easy to figure out why it wouldn't work.

Yes it fits. Please look at the other thread noted above; that has pictures of the drive in the 2nd HDD "caddy" and of the connector on inside of machine. Problem is the 2 don't line up - and apparently an additional part is needed to make the physical connections.

I'll try to contact Lenovo next week. I know I've searched their site and found nothing. I even searched eBay to see if anyone had "something" for sale.

Does point out that I do need a part - which I already knew, but not what the part is.
Also might check the maint. manual to see if it covers this.
I hope this helps !
