Hello. Is it possible to use an NVMe drive when an HDD is installed?
What am I afraid of? I'm afraid that the NVMe drive may overheat. The heat from the NVMe drive will rise up, the heat will heat the HDD, the air inside the case will heat up, the heated air can cause the NVMe to overheat.
Maybe HP engineers intended to use each type of hard drive separately, and not simultaneously?
