[SOLVED] SSD instalation

[danutmarian19]

Hello,I installed an SSD in my laptop,and because I couldn't remove the entire case,it was a bit hard to install.I saw that the Sata cable went under the SSD and it was bent.I installed the OS and everyrhing seems to be alright.Should I worry?

Which laptop? What is giving you cause for concern?

Laptops don't usually have SATA cables, they (generally) have SATA daughterboards that the SSD/HDD housing slides into. The ribbon cable that connects the DB to the MB can be routed a little tight in some instances, but if you haven't relocated it, it's exactly where it's designed to be.

If the SSD is showing up and you were able to successfully install your OS to it, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

I have an HP Pavilion 15 I bought in 2016.The cause of concern is the cable(apparantely this laptop has one).Everything is working fine,I am just worried if this can cause some issues in the future.

The Pavillion 15 name covers a whole spectrum of products over the years, so without a specific prodcut number, it's impossible to say for sure.

Everything I can find, has flex cables for the HDD/SDD, but maybe yours is different.

Regardless, if it's working, I see no reason that would change.

Oh, ok, I see what you mean. A bend isn't going to be a problem.
