Dell Latitude 5580 HDD to SSD Upgrade
Hello all, I'm looking to replace my mechanical HDD for an SSD drive. Do I need to purchase a different Dell drive cable for the SSD drive? If so, anyone have the proper link?
I believe this model also supports the M.2. Thoughts?

5580 supports SSD M.2 SATA / PCIe
or 2.5” sata HDD/ssd
you do not need to buy a different drive cable for 2.5 sata ssd. It is all included in laptop. Swapping 2.5 hdd to 2.5 sata ssd is direct drop in. M.2 ssd may need a M2 2 mm screw if not included in laptop.
swapping hdd to 2.5 ssd: connect the hard drive cable (#1) to the connector on the hard drive and on the system board.
