How do I check if my laptop supports nvme m.2 SSD?

[hassanyf]

I have a HP Laptop ac154ne i7 6500U with 8GB RAM DDR3 and 1TB 5200RPM HDD. I was wondering does it support nvme m.2 SSD?

I was all set for Samsung 850 EVO 500GB  but my friend says buying SSD’s for laptops is not good. He recommends 7200RPM HDD because SSD’s are expensive and performance degradation over time is exponential. 

Will the Samsung 850 EVO 500GB ssd fit in the slot? Can I boot from it? Any information is helpful. If this ssd is not compatible with my computer, please list some that are.

Any information will be helpful. Thanks

Hi,


Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04653884

Page 42 - 43 for instructions in upgrade from HDD to 2.5 inch 7mm SATA SSD. Get help from certified HP technician if you're within warranty. Or get help from good local technician if you've not done upgrade like this.

Samsung Evo SSDs work great in all of my HP laptops. Huge improvement in performance from the word start, consistently till now.

No M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD support for your model.


I see that previously a similar query was efficiently answered by HP Expert @Huffer:
