ssd upgrade HP Pavilion 590-p0077c

[lunari]

So I can't seem to find any information on the motherboard specs but I have a HP Pavilion 590-p0077c and it currently only has a 1tb hard drive in it and I am looking to upgrade it to an ssd and use the hard drive as secondary storage. Does anyone know if this pc supports any type of m.2 drives or should I just grab a sata drive?

Hi,

You can install an M2 SATA 3 SSD on the motherboard.

You can then install the OS on the SSD and keep the HDD for storage

Hope it helps,

David

Hi, @lunari 

PC's with the Sunflower motherboard support NVMe SSD's.

Solved: NVME SSD performance - HP Support Community - 8152126

Solved: M.2 Nvme or SATA SSD - HP Support Community - 7873682

So this nvme ssd should work perfectly fine with it correct? And thanks! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KZS8N8Y/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1UVTGP6WV0D1...

You're very welcome.

Yes that model should work fine, but bear in mind that the slot is only going to use 2 of the 4 PCIe express lanes, which means the advertised speeds you see listed of the sequential read/write speed up to 1900MB/s and 1100MB/s, are going to be approximately half that.

You may want to spend a little more money and go with the Samsung 980 250 GB SSD which has sequential read/write speeds up to 3,500/3,000 MB/s.  So half of those speeds would be around what the one you want to buy would be at full speed, if it were able to run at full speed.

And for only $6 more, you can get the 500 GB model, which would probably make more sense.
