HP OMEN 15-ax015nf
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

I bought a HP OMEN 15-ax015nf, and a V-NAND SDD Samsunf EVO M.2 250GO. I plug the SSD inside the computer, but after reboot it's not showing in file explorater, in BIOS and in computer manager / disk utilities. How to do ?

Thanks

It may not be a compatible memory and controller type.

 

SSds with NVMe controller types are currently the fastest on the planet 

 

The compatible M.2 drives are:

Generic SSD 128 GB 2280 M2 SATA-3 Value TL 827560-027
Generic SSD 256 GB 2280 M2 PCIe 3x4SS NVMeTLC TL 847109-008
Generic SSD 512 GB 2280 M2PCIe 3x4SS NVMeTLC TL
 
 
Boot to Windows and use the command line utility called Diskpart to see if it is recognized by the BIOS.
 
C:\Windows\system32>diskpart

One of the Samsung SM951 M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD (256GB) is the boot disk in the desktop I am typing this on. It is wicked quick.
 
Use a clean command, press enter and then type in convert GPT. That will make it a uefi disk and should be seen by the OS if it is compatible.
 
You might consider returning it and replacing itwith an M.2 NVMe V-Nand type like the Samsung I have.
 
One big caution. Upgrading to an M.2 NVMe is not simple.  I have done it four times and it is still sometimes a struggle for me.
