extra SSD

[Peter2016]

I hope some can help me with the following.

Is it possible to add a second SSD to a HP ZBook Studio G3, and if yes which type of SSD?

I noticed, when replacing/upgrading so-dimm memory, that there is a relatively large

empty space below the existing SSD (see picture, right side under)

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

It actually has 2 (two) M.2 slots and you can add a second SSD any time as mentioned on the following specs:

Please use the following manual which shows you how to add the second SSD

My question is how to install an SATA 3 Samsung 850 ssd in the HP Zbook studio 3g. The manual shows how to remove one that has a mounting bracket, but there seems to be no available SATA 3 bracket in parts for the Studio. I opened Studio G3 and did not find a SATA 3 connector. I'm not sure whether a regular 2.5 inch bracket can be used and anchored to the space in the Studio G3.  In addition, how do you get a SATA 3 connector or  where does one find a SATA 3 connector inside the Studio G3 space? There's plenty of space for a 2.5 inch SSD.

Thanks,

Bob

I think there is some confusion on the number of storage devices.

Service Guide indicates 1 M.2 and 1 2.5" HDD, see page 31 and 32 of the guide

Where can one install the second M.2? In the same slot as the 2.5" HDD?

Very confusing..

Hy!

The Samsung SSD 960 EVO NVMe M.2 1TB is compatibile with HP ZBook Studio G3 as a second storage option? Anyone has tested this model with ZBook Studio G3?

Thanks,
