Pavilion 14-AL027TU
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am wanting to check that the Notebook is maybe able to be upgraded in the future to a larger SSD without resorting to expensive technician soldering tasks - i.e. is the SSD simply a plug in device like the older generation notebooks?

 

 Thanks

Hi,


Specs: https://support.hp.com/lamerica_nsc_carib-en/product/hp-pavilion-14-al000-notebook-pc-series/1086215...

Your laptop came with 256GB M.2 2280 SATA-3 SSD. It is not soldered, it is plug and use.

Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05122703

I just bought a HP Pavilion 14 al111tx notebook which is having exactly same internal configuration like yours.

If I think in putting M.2 SATA SSD, I'll go for this one: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-850-EVO-Internal-MZ-N5E500BW/dp/B00TGIW1XG

Now it's currently having Samsung 850 EVO SATA SSD replacing factory built in hard drive. Just upgraded 2 weeks back.
