Im confused does this computer HP 580-137c accept a regular M.2 SSD .. I am not talking about a NVMe m.2 but a regular M.2 SSD.. I tried a regular M.2 SSD and the bios did not see it.. But the problem is I bought the M.2 SSD used so I dont know If I just have a bad one or the M.2 slot on this MB doesnt support regular M.2 SSD only NVMe M.2... Anyone

HP Recommended

 NVMe m.2 is the only one that works in that slot.

WOW.. Thanks... Here I am sending emails to the seller of the regular m.2 ssd telling him he sent me a defective m.2.. I figured that would be a backwards compatible m.2 slot but whta do I know.. I guess there is some reason its not..

I dont know I did a little more reading up and found several posts that say this port should be backwards compatible not to say this motherboard is or is not.. Are you 100% sure I really think I have a bad card or maybe I have to make some adjustments in the bios so that a standard m.2 SSD card is seen by the bios..

Well your 100% correct Glen or I must say for right now... I purchased an m.2 to sata SSD adapter and the motherboard does see the chip .. so definaltely I didnt get a bad chip.. BUT THERES THE BUT... I purchased this computer refurbished so there is a chance I have a bad NVMe slot you never know so I went ahead an ordered since they had on special on Newegg.com a WD 256GB NVme drive for $90 bucks even though I didnt want to spend that because I picked up the reg 256GB m.2 card for only $45 used.. But any way I will come back and post whether I have a bad Mobo or not later .. thanks
