The Dell Inspiron 3179 can be white, gray, blue or red, it’s very portable thanks to its reduced weight and size. It has some legacy components that diminish its attractiveness to tech-savvy users.

Hdd data interposed installation.

Hi, I bought an Inspiron 3180 and it has 32gb emmc storage. Upon upgrading the ram I noticed soldering points for an interposer labeled HDD1, must have used the same motherboard as models with hard drives. I was wondering if there is a part out there that I can solder an interposer connector to install a 2.5 in. SSD? There's enough space in the chassis for a hard drive. I could affix it with tape. Was wondering if this sort of project is possible and if so what part would I need, I'm having trouble finding one and Dell hasn't been much help. Helpful but not completely. Thanks for the read.

I’m not sure how the posting of pictures works, I hope these pictures help in answering my question. It appears that an interposer connector could be put in but I cant find the part from Dell.

@dchar2189 sure looks like all you need to do is to solder a connector to that area. Issues that could arise from that is that we do not know what connection goes where and hopefully everyone adhered to the standard.

Check something like this connector, you may have to bend the piece on the ends up to fit your board. D:\DocManager\Check In\Vincent\ECR-10-004449\2023246-c SH1-A3 (1). from what we can see on your picture and checking the dimensions, it may just fit. Check this connector as well as this one which would be great since it is a slimline version. I see no reason why not to try it.
