Product: Pavilion 580-137c
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

Does the Pavilion 580-137c desktop (Ryzen 1700, 16GB, 4GB Radeon RX 550, 1 TB, currently being offered by Costco) support NVMe on its m.2 ports (of which I understand it has 2), or do the m.2 ports only support SATA?  Are there certain brands/models of m.2 SSD drives (SATA or NVMe) that are recommended/supported)?  I would like to install a 512GB SSD (preferably NVMe, if possible)

 

Thanks for you help!

The link to the specifications shows the M.2 slot that is next to the SATA port as being the SSD slot.

 

The other M.2 slot is for an M.2 WIFI module. 

 

A key A module is connected to a slower PCIe bus

The key M module is on the high speed bus.

 

I have tended to use the Samsung M.2 SSD products. I have a couple of Samsung SM951-NVMe M.2 SSD drives. (MZVP256HDGL-000)

 

One is them is 512GB and the other is 256 GB. Actually a 256 GB SSD is enough capacity for a boot drive.  Boot speed at about 12 seconds or so.

 

There is nothing you have to do in the BIOS to enable the M.2 SSD.

There are no specifically recommended or approved M.2 SSDs for your desktop PC.

The The P5BW-LA (Basswood) motherboard that is in the 580-137c Desktop does not have M.2 connectors.

 

See the following specification sheet from HP.

Hello Erico,

 

The computer in question has an AMD Ryzen 1700 processor, but the link is for a motherboard that supports the Intel socket 775 processors (Core 2 Duo, Pentium D, Pentium 4)?

Thanks for pointing that out. It is a mistake by HP. They put two links to Basswood motherboard specs on the 580-137c Desktop specifications web page instead of the single correct one.  I will point it out to HP.

 

The Promontory 2 chipset is stated by AMD and other sources to be have support for NVMe, but HP has not explicitly stated that.  An NVMe M.2 SSD should work without issue. There is direct processor  compatibility with the Ryzen processor.

 

See the following URL for a good description fof AMD's nextgen Promontory chipset. https://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/anton-shilov/amds-next-gen-pc-platform-processor-direct-nvme-...

 

There is an image of the motherboard that shows which M.2 slot is for an SSD at the following URL.

Hi Erico, thanks for the additional info and links. The Promontory 2 chipset supports NVMe, and HP does not explicitly mention NVMe support, but the motherboard specification does mention 2 m.2 sockets: (1) socket 1, key A and (2) socket 3, key M. Is there something I need to do in the BIOS to enable or configure the m.2 socket(s)? Does it matter which socket (key A or key M) I plug the NVMe ssd into? Are there certain recommended /approved m.2 NVMe ssds for this motherboard?

Thank you, Erico for your help.  I will try the Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD. I have seen good reviews on their SATA SSDs.

I tend to agree that a NVMe m.2 SSD should work.  However, I have checked numerous models with the same motherboard  including those in the 750-600 series and the 580-100 series and none were ever configured with a NVMe m.2 SSD.

 

Information is lacking on the 580-xxx series and HP has been notified about that issue.  Some information has already been posted.

 

Looking at the BIOS, I only see provisioning for one (1) slot. I don't know at this time if a BIOS update is required to allow an additional m.2 slot to appear or if it's an idiosyncrasy of this particular motherboard when the m.2 NVMe SSD is not installed.  Some of the other HP motherboards that support m.2 SSDs do show both m.2 slots in the BIOS.

 

@erico  FYI

Hi Big_Dave,

At this point, I don't know whether or not to take a chance and buy a Samsung M.2 NVMe SSD.  There is a possibility that I will not be able to use the NVME drive...

Update the BIOS to F.05 (SSID 8399) then check to see there are two m.2 slots.  In the BIOS look under Security -->Slot Security.
