Product: HP Pavilion Gaming 15-DK0068wm
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

There is an empty SATA slot in my computer.Is it possible to install 2.5 SATA SSD to that place. Currently, I have got 256 GB NVME provided by Hunix SK. I have read some manuals and could not find the answer. If it is possible what kind of SSD is recommended by HP? I do not want to have any troubles with HW compatibility. My target is increasing the storage volume of my computer.Thank you very much in advance.

Yes, you can add 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD to your machine but you need 2 more parts

         

  • The hard drive cable is available using spare part number part # L56898-001
  • The hard drive brackets are not available as a spare part        (this is the killer)

You need brackets secure HDD/SSD to its bay.
