Dell 7320 additional SSD
Hi all! A child damaged the main SSD connector and no longer recognizes the SSD. But there is also a connector like the one in the photo. Is it possible to install an SSD in it? At the moment the laptop is running from an external SSD and this is not convenient.

Not for use as an operating system device, no -- and it's likely the drive won't be recognized at all.
If the main SSD connector is damaged, there are two options -- replace the system board, or have a shop capable of SMT soldering replace the connector (assuming they can find another board from which to harvest the connector).
Either option is likely to cost about the same -- at least a couple of hundred dollars.
