Additional 2.5" compartment

— the presence in the laptop of an additional compartment for an internal drive of the form factor 2.5 ".

Usually, to install or remove drive in such compartment , it was not necessary to disassemble the entire laptop — just remove the cover or remove the plug. As for 2.5", this is the traditional form factor for laptop hard drives (HDD), although other types of media (SSD and SSHD) can also be produced in this format. To connect 2.5" drives, SATA connector is used — it is not as fast as more modern standards like M.2 PCIe, however, it is cheaper, and for HDD this connector is quite enough.

Thus, the presence of an additional 2.5" compartment allows you to quickly and cost-effectively increase the total volume of laptop drives.
