Hi HP!

In hp laptops documentation it is mention that

[Storage] Capacity [of the laptop is]

Hard drive

• Up to 1 TB (hard drive only)

• Up to 1 TB hard drive + up to 128 GB SSD

• Up to 512 GB (PCIe SSD)

Does this means,

• it is not possible to put a 2TB HDD in the laptop?

• an SSD bigger than 128 GB capacity wont work along with a 1TB HDD?

• an SSD bigger than 512 GB capacity wont work at all in this laptop?

If this is correct, why so? Is there any technical constraints?

 

ANS

Hi:

 

The drive capacities are just what HP offered in the model series, not the maximum possible storage capacity.

 

If you wanted to go with a 1 or 2 TB 2.5" SSD, that should be fine.

Hi HP;

In the documentation of my hp Pc : HP Compaq Pro 6300 Microtower PC 

  • Intel Core i3-2130 processor

The product specification (https://support.hp.com/hr-en/document/c03382665#AbT1 ) is listed as 

Storage

SATA Solid State Drive (SSD):
  • 120GB, SATA (with 3.5 in adapter)
  • 128GB, SATA (with 3.5 in adapter)

This mean that the PC is not capable of SSD more than 128 GB because of CPU ADDRESSES Limitations.

HP: PLEASE STATE CLEARLY WHAT DOES IT MEANS

Regards:

MZK

Hi:

 

This is a peer to peer forum.  We do not work for HP.

If you want to go with a 1 TB 1 or 2 TB 2.5" drive, that should be fine.

 

I have the older HP 8200 Elite, and I installed a 500 GB WD Blue 2.5" SSD, and it works with no problem at all.
