A good SSD for hp Elite book 840 g4

[bidge]

I bought this model second hand and got it for cheap, but the problem is that it has a hdd 240gb, not optimal for working, gaming and editing. Can someone suggest a fast SSD 500gb for this model?

And how many storage components can I add in it?

@bidge,

Your service manual (pages 1-2) indicates that your model supports 2.5" HDDs, M.2 NVMe and M.2 SATA SSDs.

It sounds like your notebook currently has either an M.2 NVMe or M.2 SATA SSD. If you check the model number of the "hdd 240gb," in Device Manager and let us know, we can find if it's a NVMe or SATA SSD.

NVMe SSDs are much faster than SATA SSDs. There are many good NVME M.2 SSDs. Here are just a couple of them.

You can add a 2.5" HDD if you wish. But if your current drive is an M.2 SSD, you may need to get a hard drive hardware kit #821665-001 (see Page 23).

Page 39 of the manual describes how to open the case and install an M.2 SSD drive.
