Where is the second hard drive?

JokukranByJokukran

Hello,

I own an Asus R565JA-EJ2498W, built in 2021, and according to the packaging, it has two hard drives. But now my computer has crashed (it doesn't show any boot options in the BIOS) and I want to recover my data (because I'm stupid and didn't make any backups).

I examined the thing, and I have my 32GB M2 SSD here (right), but no other hard drive is visible. I also looked under the battery, but there's only the touchpad.

My question is, where is the second hard drive? Is it under the circuit board or something?

By the way, the space on the left has always been empty. Apparently you can install an extra hard drive there if you're smart enough to make backups.

Thank you in advance.

What to look out for when replacing the Lenovo Thinkpad battery?

ByHaderkatze

Hey, I want to buy a new battery for my laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad T470p) and I'm not sure what to look for. The model I need doesn't seem to be available very often, and many websites seem dubious. https://www.kaufland.de/product/456795139/?kwd&source=pla&sid=46751170&utm_medium=cpc&utm_id=20518190045&gad _source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA84CvBhCaARIsAMkAvkJ5HiViWKSsV1sFowD3lwxf3ubakHxeIu_E2jrT8kjRtlKYLWIeetgaAg1DEALw_wcB https://www.reichelt.de/de/de/notebook-akku-fuer-lenovo-li-ion-4400-mah-akku-54106-p324514.html?PROVID=2788&gad_ source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA84CvBhCaARIsAMkAvkKaMbw3vHa3v3RS9DheMpmBCr21l97ZUTDMcrESZQM-Vv9wgJ41GcQaAuDTEALw_wcB&&r=1 I have now found these two, does one of them work?

Nope. This thing has no hard drives at all. Neither one nor two.
For a device from 2021 would also be quite stupid if not negligent.

Then where is the 2nd SSD

The part should have a 2nd place somewhere.

Hard drives have not been built into laptops for years.

…and this is not the case.
I don’t know where there was, but the IT center has either told Bullsh|t or you got something wrong.

At the top right of the picture is the NVME-SSD with 512 GB – and that was.
The shaft in which you have theoretically inserted 2.5″ disk is empty and has no interfaces. 🤷

I’ve been told that’s just the operating system on the SSD.

I’ve already brought this thing to an IT center, and they told me that my data is not on the SSD. Then they told me that for saving the data I have to send my laptop to Berlin to spend 1000€ for retrieving my data.

As an apprentice, I can’t afford this, and that’s why I’m trying to find a solution myself, because the end of the semester is approaching, and my almost finished charges are supposed to be somewhere on the Pc.

On a drive(volume) that is located on a disk (here: SSD). Where else?

I’m so glaring that you’re words like “data carrier”, “partition” and “drive” or “volume” cannot differentiate and throw things together. 🤔

And where was everything stored when not on the SSD?
