HP Pavilion 15 ck005no
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, 

 

As the title says, can I add another ssd disk to my HP Pavilion 15 ck005no?  Because it seems to be 2 slots in total?

 

Of topic: Im planning on installing linux on it, can I install linux and then boot from that disk, and then also be able to reach my old files in my current ssd?

Yes you can add a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD IF you get these additional parts to mount and attach it with:

 

(15b) Hard drive bracket 933608-001
(15c) Hard drive cable L01855-001

 

Service Manual 

 

Pages 31-35 show "how to" open it and get to the 2.5 inch bay. Looks like this with the back off:

 

green square is 2.5 inch baygreen square is 2.5 inch bay

 

The red oval is your existing 256 gig M.2 SSD. And yes you can install Linux on it. You will install the bootloader on the M.2 and then the working Linux partitions on the 2.5 inch.

These mounting parts are very hard to locate and expensive when you can. HP Parts Store will not have them. You would actually come out better and cheaper by just replacing the 256 gig M.2 SSD with a 500 gig or 1 TB. 

 

Post back if you need more help or please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
