Product: HP Pavilion Desktop - 570-p078nl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, my question is very simple but the answer appear as a mystery..

My desktop is an HP Pavilion Desktop - 570-p078nl with Willow2 motherboard inside.

Wich SSD can i mount in M.2 slot?

I read in some posts that HP has locked hardware recognitions in some BIOS upgrade so, if i will install an S700 Pro (2LU74AA#ABB SSD) is the only way to be sure that it will boot due to compatibility restrictions or i can choose other brand of SSD?

Thanks

Greetings,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

 

The HP S700 Pro (Link) is a M.2 SATA drive.

 

You need a PCIe M.2 drive for the Willow2 motherboard.

Hi,

 

You're very welcome.

 

I can't guarantee this. 

 

The motherboard (Link) has one M.2 key M socket. This key M socket only supports PCIe drives. It does not support SATA M.2 drives.

 

A PCIe NVME drive should work.
