SSD cable / bracket for Dell Precision 3541

[Willie Trombone]

Anyone know where I can get a bracket and SATA cable for this machine?



Alternatively a decent M.2 that fits in the WWAN slot will do I guess. Not sure which is the better way to go about it.

I think the WWAN takes a 2242 size SSD... might be easier to just get one of those?

Bump in case anyone knows

Apparently the parts are officially known as
CBL,HDD,5501/3541
BRKT,HDD,7MM,5501/3541

I'm told these things are sold with the drives, not separately... Ugh...
And the Dell SA site, when you click 'parts and spares' takes you here:

https://www.dell.com/en-za/shop/partsforyourdell

This is on Ali Express, though I'd like to get it sooner than in 6 weeks + time

Have you tried calling spl.co.za & www.laptopaccessories.co.za ?

I don't think I have yet, no. Let me give them a bel.
I've tried Tarsus, First Tech among others.
Apparently Dell sell these with new drives only :/

Plug your service tag nr in at PARTSpeople and see if anything crops up there. Also, besides SPL (and as much as I am loath to mention them), there is also PartServe as for a last-ditch attempt. Also, does yours in fact support M.2 anyway?

I have an M.2 NVMe and space for an M.2 2242 but those are scarce and costly. Flasgear from Nucleustech may have found one for me. The man is a wiz!
