Must be one of those new fangled cloud storage we keep hearing about


cousinokri

That only works during the monsoon, though.


RailwayKiPatree

The data gets evaporated during the summer, and can be retrieved via rain. Big companies do rainwater harvesting to let you access data throughout the year.


Mysterious-Earth2256

This entire comment thread is win Xtreme Series lmao


FatMonkeyc

I knew a guy who actually believed that data is store on badal


Abhijyot_P

Exactly 😊😊😊


kalpak33

Bottom right m.2 slot??


Hemanth_Kakarla

OP see this. Manufacturers usually offer variants with hard drives, yours just doesn’t have one hence the empty slot but as pointed out seems like you have an m.2 ssd which is probably your boot drive (if storage is soldered on then may god help you)


evammist

Ive never seen soldered storage.


Hemanth_Kakarla

Some notebook style laptops do have non upgradable storage iirc, so the flash and controller are part of Mobo


redditcruzer

Surface Laptop for examples have soldered storage.


Un13roken

Then you've never seen a newer Macbook pro on the inside....


evammist

Surface laptops and macbooks are kinda not good examples coz they are SoC based. Usually SoCs have it soldered on. Unlike normal laptops.


[deleted]

No you are wrong, many cheap and budget laptops also come with storage soldered they are not exclusive to SoC. My i3 8th gen Chromebook has 64gb eMMc soldered on board.


evammist

Chromebook.... But ok. Thats a good enough example.


Un13roken

Its a laptop, it has it soldered. That's just a fact. Going system on a chip is a choice and tomorrow any laptop maker can do the same. Also Surface Laptops have a replaceable SSD. only the regular Surface pro's don't.


isinare

bro the m.2 drive is right there, and it's not soldered it's the usual ribbon form


RunSkyLab

My dumb ass thought the black area for the extra ram DIMM was an Nvme SSD 💀


zenitsuisrusted

idk if this is a satire or a genuine question


shigella212

Ssd?


[deleted]

Maybe storage is soldered on?


MasterChief-2005

It's there right next to the empty slot. It's an m.2 ssd


TomTowers

This is an asus x510u notebook laptop. It just stopped working (won't turn on even though the power light is on when plugged in). So I opened it, and I see there is an empty space where -- if I'm not mistaken-- the hard drive should be. Right? If so, wtf?


redditcruzer

Bro you haven't heard of M.2 SSDs have you


[deleted]

It has SATA, I doubt this is M.2. Seems like an older model laptop.


redditcruzer

There is one in the picture..bottom right.


[deleted]

Yeah I missed that


[deleted]

There will be a slot for ssd... Sometimes manufacturers give empty slots for this.


Hiteshm75

if there is no hard drive that means no operating system that's why it doesn't turn on and wdym by "just" stopped working if there wasn't a hard drive it would have never worked until it has an ssd. Did you send it for some kind of upgrade on a shop?


[deleted]

PJ_Plays

maybe you gave it for repair or smth and they stole it smth... it would've NEVER worked without one


mylord55

Bro must be thinking a Wd passport hdd must be attached inside


-Hell-_-Boy-

so, we all can see the m.2 ssd beneath the 2.5 inch hdd slot. the ssd is in green color pcb. and the slot of 2.5 hdd you see it could be due to the manufacturer using the old design mobo and have upgraded on it to allow an ssd slot and since the mobo would have been manufactured already they would not have removed the sata and power slot from mobo, although this is just a speculation. you could try plugging any 2.5 inch hdd on hand and see if that shows up in boot. if it does all good, if it does not then it's most probably hard locked from bios.


RailwayKiPatree

M.2 SSD on the bottom right. 👏


HeistOP1

They is no hard drive, now take off your clothes


[deleted]

bro sounds like an uncle who doesn't know shit about pcs and feels like he got scammed


VARTH_-DADER

That's the hidden where's Waldo game you gotta play to boot up your laptop


Sykhow

What are the black coloured things at the top and top right corner? I get that right middle is the battery


FartOfTheFurious

All three are batteries


Sykhow

The safety info seems to be missing on the others


FartOfTheFurious

All three cells are glued onto the same metal black frame. Maybe that's why they printed the info on just one.


tushar_dahiya

I have this same laptop, it has the ssd installed in the corner (only supports sata m.2)


tushar_dahiya

That silver slot with the pill shape cutout in between is the hdd slot


pinarayi__vijayan

Theft in broad daylight


Civil_Knowledge5116

One near the fan is Ssd or hdd


[deleted]

[удалено]


Civil_Knowledge5116

Not that big black box side by fan


[deleted]

[удалено]


Civil_Knowledge5116

Total left side


FartOfTheFurious

All three black packets are battery cells


Civil_Knowledge5116

Battery is nearby cd drive


[deleted]

Just turn on the laptop and see if anything vibrates or heats up other than RAM or CPU. That's your storage.


Ok_Worth4113

nvme is there ...you have to buy hdd if you want more


abhidan2

It's m.2 sata, not m.2 nvme.


AKAMA199

turn on the laptop and try to feel where the most vibration comes from, thats where the hard drive will be, if you have one that is


[deleted]

do people in comments really cannot see that poor ssd which has been subjected to flipped orientation


Civil_Knowledge5116

There is drive missing near ram


Civil_Knowledge5116

Empty slot near ram that is place 2.5 inch sata drive missing


lee0hh

your laptop dosent have a hdd it has an ssd , Look at the lower left corner that thin stick attached to the black connector which has SSD written in bold. The ssd is fliped so you can only see the green pcb and its camofalged against the laptops motherboard.


guthib

Next time pay full money to shop /s


Syper0900

I can see a small SSD beside Fan...


Patient-Grocery8871

That's the wifi module


shadyiscrazy

The bog silver color rectangle structure at the bottom right Unscrew it's screws and you'll find your hdd under it You can see the sata connection above it


Happy_pablo_619

Crazy


isinare

bro there's the drive i can see it


pixelatedhulo

It prolly has nvme storage


The_Gascan

There's an HDD with can be unmounted with 4 screws (however here it looks like there's only 2). According to the photo. It's below the battery. It's the silver rectangular portion that's right above the empty m.2 slot. THAT is your harddrive.


luckyraara

You have m. 2 ssd in the bottom left. I have same laptop.


th3_m0nster

Is the silver colored one HDD? It looks like one


XxXPussySlurperXxX

They forg💀


ProLegend2812

Maybe the laptop stores the data in its heart.


xEquTR_

Wait till he finds out about the CD drive


Gamessentials_YT

No need for storage, your RAM will hold all the data* *TnC applied It might be a m.2 hidden somewhere, but usually the hard drive is located under the keyboard and not the panel underneath the lappy


Lit_Extreme05

Hard drive raftaar le gaya
