Replacing HDD in my Pavillion 580-074ns

[Joan_C67]

Hi Team.

I want to replace my current HDD from a new one SSD to increase PC speed. Question is not what kind of SSD can i Install in the mother board of my current PC ? I see that the mother board is  Odense2-K  and  not sure if I can only use a SATA SSD or if I can use a fastest one like a NVMe through the PCIe socket in my mother board ? not sure if it's valid for this kind of SSD or not. thanks for help before buying a new SSD i want to be sure i'm buying the one that will work with my mother board

Hi
you have an answer here, but although validated, has it been tested!?

PAVILION 580-23W M.2 SSD availibility

You may have problems booting from the pci port, so see
otherwise :

@Joan_C67 -- is this your computer: HP Pavilion Power 580-074ns Desktop PC Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

On that page, I see:  Expansion Slots:

One PCIe (GEN 3) x16 socket
One PCIe (GEN 3) x1 socket
One M.2 socket 1, key A

So, that M.2 socket

* is Socket 1: Connectivity socket for Wi-Fi ®, Bluetooth ®, NFC (near-field communication) or Wi-Gig.

* is not Socket 2: WWAN/SSD/Other

So, it will not work to connect an M.2 storage-device to your motherboard.

So, your remaining choices are:

* 2.5-inch wide SSD mounted into a 2.5-to-3.5 metal/plastic bracket, to fit into a 3.5-inch drive-bay. Such a bracket is under $5.

* purchasing/adding a PCIe X1 card, and mounting an M.2 or NVME memory-device onto the card.

The SSD will be 5 to 10 times faster than your current 2017-vintage disk-drive, and the adapter bracket is very inexpensive.

It depends on how much input/output that your computer does, to see if you need the higher-than-SSD speed of an M.2 device, or the highest speed of the NVME device.  Also, higher cost of the add-in card is also a factor in your decision.

everything is already here
we already know that there is no m2 SSD

"I was looking forward to upgrading my pc to use m.2 SSD as a boot drive when I noticed that the socket is missing ""

"obviously, this model is not designed for!
the motherboard has no slot, can be taken out before this type of ssd, or for cost reasons!
You can install a classic SSD, unless a solution is possible via pci adapter."

"

The Odense only has an M.2 socket 1 Key A slot.

You can't swap out the WIFI for an M.2 NVME PCIe 3x4 data drive.

Your PC's MB has an x1 and an x16 PCIe slot.

You could buy a PCIe M.2 NVME (example) adapter if you want to add a "gum drive".

Adding components which have not been tested and certified by HP could cause stability issues.

You have to weigh the risks against the benefits.

I will go for the ssd sata 3 Option and replacing the 4gb memory module for one of 16gb. So I will have a total 24gb Ram and with the new disc it should have an improved performance.
