S01-aF2023w

Can I upgrade a S01-aF2023w pc by adding a 2.5 inch SSD?  Is there a SATA port on the motherboard and an open SATA connector on the PSU? 

 

Thank you!

 

ANSWER: THERE ARE TWO SATA DATA CONNECTORS WITH CABLES ATTACHED TO THE MOTHERBOARD. THERE IS ALSO ONE SATA POWER CONNECTOR FOR AN OPTICAL DRIVE, AND 1 STANDARD SATA POWER CONNECTOR.

Hello,

 

Yes, you can add a 2.5-inch SSD to your HP Pavilion Slimline S01-aF2023w:

Check for Ports: Ensure there's an available SATA port on the motherboard and a SATA power connector from the PSU.
Install SSD: Mount the SSD, connect the SATA data cable to the motherboard, and connect the SATA power cable from the PSU. fidelity
Configure: Boot up, check BIOS to ensure the SSD is recognized, then format and install the OS or migrate your existing OS.

 

I hope this will be short for you

Best Regards

Hi, I’m specifically asking if the motherboard has a SATA port and the PSU has a SATA connection. Do you know if they do?
