Second SSD slot

[jan1891]

Hi,

I would like to upgrade with a second SSD and have a question concerning the SSD slots of my PC.

After some research I found out, that the second SSD slot is just underneath the graphics card. No problem so far. But the specifications say that the PC got

Two M.2 socket 3, key M (one for SSD card PCIe x4 Gen 3)

My questions are: Which slot is capable of PCIe x4 Gen 3 (SSD 1 or SSD 2) and what is the other slot capable of?

Thank you!

Hi Rainbow23,

thank you.

Meanwhile I found out by trial and success that both M.2 slots are PCIe 3.0 4x. So two NVMe SSD can be installed on the mainboard simultaneously.

I do not unterstand why HP is not providing these specifications precisely in the manual.
