To avoid confusion: the connector below connects to the USB ports and goes under the HDD.

Ignore the "JHDD" marking, it just means the header for where the hard drive connects. That's a SATA connection, so you just need to get a SATA SSD and swap out the hard drive. It should be pretty straight forward.

Hi There!

I want to upgrade my Laptop from an HDD to an SSD. 

But on the connector of the HDD and the Motherboard is JHDD written. I cannot find another option to connect the storage. 

Does anybody know what an JHDD connector is, and if I can find an SSD with this connector?

Thanks! 

If I could help you, please mark my comment as "Solution"!

I tried to find out what the heck is JHDD connector is (I even just heard it by now), haven't found it yet.

Usually laptops using the same SATA connector no matter what the laptop is, welp because it's the standard (afaik).

Any chance to take the photo and send it here?

Humor me, as you should do.
