Product: HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop PC TG01-0000i (8BG56AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

This computer comes with a 256GB SSD, which I have already maxed out.  I would like to increase its storage capacity by adding a second SSD.  There appears to be a bracket designed to mount a 2.5" SSD, and there are some extra cables clipped to the bracket.  Please advise what my options are for increasing my storage capacity with the PC.  

 

P.S.  When I looked at the bottom of my PC, the model was TG01-1183w.  Not sure if that matters or not, as I let HP detect the model automatically and have included that information with my post.  They say that I have a TG01-0000i (8BG56AV).

Upon further review - it looks as though my pc has the "baker" mother board whereas the pc you gave as an example has the "rother" motherboard.  Can you please clarify.

Its motherboard has

 

  • Two M.2 expansion slots (1 x PCIe x16 and 1 x PCIe x1)
  • One M.2 socket 1, Key A
  • One M.2 socket 3, Key M, (2280/2242)

Again, it only has ONE M.2 slot for storage which is already occupied I wouldn't recommend  to use PCIe x 1 slot because its speed is not right.

 

Regards.
