SSD Upgrade

[StefanBI123]

Hello everybody,

Q1:Does anyone know if i can upgrade this Pro desk 400 G3 with a M.2 SSD to have dual drive(fast boot and mass storage)? It currently has a really slow 500 GB HDD?

The second question is only applicable only if this pc works with two drives. I don't want to have only 1 small drive.

Q2: Does it work with normal sata m.2 or only M.2 NVMe drive?

Ignoring the price difference( they have different prices in my country),does anyone know if it's compatible with this normal sata drive  or only with this NVMe Drive? I want to invest as little as possible into a boot drive.

Thanks.

P.S. Under the HDD i found the M.2 slot(see picture) left slot is for SSD, right slot is for WI-FI module (sorry about the quality)

                

P.S.S. Sorry about my bad English

There are many different options

For storage:

Q1. There is no option for dual storage but there are few options for M.2 NVMe SSD

• 256 GB, PCI-E Gen3 x 4, Turbo Drive G2 TLC SSD
• 512 GB, PCI-E Gen3 x 4, Turbo Drive G2 TLC SSD
• 1 TB, PCI-E Gen3 x 4, Turbo Drive G2 TLC SSD

  You can use larger capacity for it and I believe it supports dual storage.

Q2. From the above specs, it supports BOTH M.2 SATA and M.2 NVMe, I only pick NVMe for Q1.

Regards.

It already has 2.5' 500 sata hdd

The idea was if I install a M.2 SSD will it support dual drive( the m.2 and the included hdd)
