What is your Pavilion Laptop 14-ce1xxx ? For example

 

             HP Pavilion 14-ce1008tu

 

It supports dual storage option with M.2 NVMe/SATA + 2.5" HDD. It has 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA now, you can add M.2 NVMe PCIe 3 to your machine using compatible drive such as   https://www.crucial.com/ssd/p5-plus/ct1000p5pssd8/ct20138860

Hi, @arnob2500 

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

 

Maintenance and Service Guide HP Pavilion 14 Laptop PCIMPORTANT! This document is intended for HP au...

 

Chapter 1, page 3 has the supported drive types.

 

Your notebook's M.2 slot supports both SATA and NVMe SSD's.

 

NVMe SSD's provide faster read/write speeds than SATA.

 

The M.2 PCie slot generation is 3.0.

i have 1TB hdd already. so can i add 500gb M.2 PCie NVME ssd with 1tb hdd? what if i add a ssd which has pcie gen4? will it become a problem?

HP Recommended

Yes, you can install a 500 GB NVMe SSD and use the 1 TB 2.5" drive for storage only.

 

You won't be able to have two operating systems on the drives because the notebook will always want to boot from the 2.5" drive first and not the SSD.

 

Notebooks that come with dual drive configurations from HP have no operating system on the 2.5" drive.

 

A PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD will work fine but only at the PCIe Gen 3 speed.

 

The max sequential read/write speed you can get out of a PCIe Gen 3 NVMe slot is 3,500 MBPS.
