I want to buy a new laptop (partly because of the school). On that I will work with Creo (but of course also Fortnite etc. Gambling) now I would like to download Linux on it. So a 256GB SSD. Only has no HDD. Now I wonder if you can install as an HDD. My Brider has the Dell Inspiron 15 7566-1821 and has (through the included instructions) installed. Now I'm wondering if you can do that with the DELL G5 15 5587 notebook i5-8300H.

There's nothing clever
Then check the Dell support if that is possible but it should go because the i7 model has a hdd and the i5 model except for proz. Etc should be the same. As I said the support will help you for sure
Have just looked after supposedly all the Dell G5 15 are the same and where it works
Of course, you can replace or reinstall an SSD or HDD in this Dell laptop.
But I did not quite understand why you want to install a HDD, if an SSD is already installed.
The laptop is available in several versions, including the version with a hybrid hard drive. It consists of an SSD part and an HDD part in a drive housing.
There's also the more expensive version with an SSD up to 500 GB and a 1 TB HDD.
Should the HDD be additionally installed?
Or should the SSD be replaced by an HDD? Why?
You can without problems on the existing SSD, on which a Windows 10 is already installed, install a parallel Linux.
Please explain to me understandably, what exactly you intend, then I can give you a more accurate and better answer.
Here you can download the manual and read how to remove or replace a drive.

In most cases it is only possible to swap the hard disk. Installing an extra plate is only rarely possible.
I do not recommend an HDD for laptops anyway. Then rather a nice big SSD.
I just want to add another external memory. Install another HDD. The SSD remains. I would not like to have Linux and Windows only with 256GB. Just want to expand my memory with an HDD
External storage means connecting an HDD or SSD via USB in an external enclosure.
Installing another HDD, as you write in the second sentence, means plugging it into the notebook and plugging it into an internal SATA interface. For this you have to open the notebook. For this I have linked the download to the manual, so you can see how you have to do that.
What now? External or internal or both?
Internal. Increase the total memory (not the main memory).

Page 23 of 118: Installation of the SSD
Page 32 and 33: Removal of the HDD
Page 34 and 35: Installation of the HDD
Do not touch the hard disk connectors. Earth or discharge yourself beforehand at a central heating pipe or at a water pipe. After that do not walk around anymore, because you load up again electrostatically.
OK thanks. Is there something installed (where then the HDD comes in) or is the Kebel simply inside
Please open the given pages in Adobe Reader and set the zoom to 300 to 400 percent and look at the drawings. You see every detail there. In addition, you can open the notebook and then see what is installed. If you have a problem with understanding the drawing, I advise you not to change it.
Only unscrew the screws and pull the hard disk out of an elongated socket. There are no loose cables, only the firmly installed socket (SATA connection and power supply) into which an HDD is plugged.
If you buy a new HDD, then pay attention to the height. It must not be higher than 7 mm. If I should give you a hint, you can contact me. Look something first, then comes from me an approval or advice, which HDD is better.
This laptop does not have a built-in HDD. That means there's an inside but that does not work?
No, that is not what it is called. The laptop you want to buy probably has only one SSD installed and the slot for the HDD is empty.
There are the laptop in different versions. In the most expensive he is equipped with a 500GB SSD and a 1TB HDD. A cheaper version, which you probably want to buy, is only equipped with an SSD and the hard drive is missing, so it is the mounting space for a hard drive free.
Why do not you post the link to the offer so I can see exactly what you intend to buy? In addition, you always say that you want to install a hard drive in addition. Then it is clear that no built-in and a factory-installed HDD without function, is now really a pretty strange idea.
Here are the different versions I found.
The cheapest version with only one SSD with 250 GB capacity, no HDD: https://www.idealo.de/...-dell.html
This version includes a hybrid hard drive called SSHD. This SSHD includes a classic HDD with 1 TB of storage capacity and a 128 GB SSD in the same hard drive enclosure. From the outside it looks like a normal HDD.

In the most expensive version is a SSD installed, but in this long design, as can be seen on page 32 and in addition a pure HDD with 1 TB: https://www.idealo.de/...-dell.html
Do you understand it now?

I want to buy it for myself and that's exactly it. After there's no built-in HDD (what is in the place where the HDD comes in and where is the cable if nothing is connected and nothing loosely in the laptop hangs around? You ask shtells as if you had not even read my question properly No laptop for over 1000 euro That's why I build the HDD itself. (PS My brother has almost the same and has also built a HDD itself)
I have answered everything exactly.
what is in the place where the HDD comes in
There's only air outside the empty space… Nothing! That's why you can install a new HDD at this point.
and where is the cable if there's nothing connected and nothing hanging loose in the laptop?
There's no cable like in a PC. There's a slot in which the HDD is plugged. What do you do not understand? Look at the picture in the manual. Do you see a cable?
You ask schtells as if you had not even read my question properly
I have tried several times in plain German and with reference to the pictures in the manual to explain exactly what you have not understood. I have always read your questions carefully, but you still do not understand my detailed answers.
Please turn on your brain and try to understand what a free slot is, that the word nothing really means nothing, no HDD is really not a HDD, but only space, air, nothing. And a slot is not a cable, but just a simple simpler understood by everyone… Slot… In this place you put something into it… Like a plug into a socket or a Doe… In a Mu… Do I have to explain that to you?
Au Mannomannomannomann,
our country is pretty poor,
nobody understands our language anymore,
really bad and what a disgrace.
Or are you a troll and trying to make me… En?
There's no cable like in a PC. There's a slot in which the HDD is plugged. What do you do not understand? Look at the picture in the manual. Do you see a cable?
Do you mean that the cable with the HDD is included?
There's only air outside the empty space… Nothing! That's why you can install a new HDD at this point.
Yes, I already understood that!
There's no cable because it is not needed.
In this notebook, this is a slot for a SSD with M.2 interface and a slot or slot for a SATA 2.5 inch HDD or SSD or SSHD.
But according to instructions one must connect the HDD with a cable with the laptop!
Not correct. List the instructions (a link) and the page of the manual where you got this info or refer to the manual that you have hopefully downloaded.
https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/g-series-15-5587-laptop_service-manual_de-de.pdf
Page 34 No. 3 (Your instructions!) By the way, it said, I can install one in this laptop and not like!
The question of the cable is a question of how. Anyway, I have not found this peculiar technology used here in any notebook. In this notebook, the SATA slot is actually not firmly installed and hangs on a short ribbon connector. This is very rare, I do not know that.
This adapter, which is actually called hard disk cable here, would have to be present in the device. Sure you're just that the adapter cable is present, if you buy another variant, in which already an HDD or SSHD is installed. That would be this variant: https://www.idealo.de/...-dell.html
It is a SSHD with 128 GB SSD and a 1 TB HDD combined in a 2.5 inch (6.35 cm) case. The notebook is only 25 euro more expensive, you have a HDD with 1 TB, which is sufficient for everything and the fast boot through the SSD part. 128 GB SSD is completely sufficient. If necessary, you can then put an SSD in the free M.2 slot and increase the SSD share.
If you want to stay with your choice, you should ask Dell technical support or your dealer if, in the configuration you have chosen, this ominous connection cable is part of the basic configuration or must be purchased separately.
Sure you're just that the adapter cable is present, if you buy another variant, in which already an HDD or SSHD is installed. That would be this variant:
https://www.idealo.de/...-dell.html
No, I stay with mine. Because as I said I knew that there's a (loose) cable in there. Besides, my brother did all that, so if I need help I have him
If you already knew that, why did you ask the question?
My question was, is that with the and not how do I do that!
And my answer started like this:
Of course, you can replace or reinstall an SSD or HDD in this Dell laptop.
That's a short, accurate and 100% correct answer.
My questions related to the rest of your question, which you just dropped under the table.
