I would like to add an M.2 SSD and make it the primary drive (in addition to the 1TB mechanical HDD). Motherboard model: 84C1 (U3E1)

 

Is this M.2 SSD compatible?

NVMe M.2 SSD (P1, 500GB)

 

Thanks

Yes it should and I am sorry we cannot be 100% sure. Here is the Service Manual:

See pp. 2-3. M.2 NVME + HDD on "select models". If any model is selected it should be your top of the line configuration, but you should open it before buying an M.2 SSD just to be sure, as a best practice. 

 

Start on p. 34 to remove the back cover and inside it is laid out like this:

The P1 NVME by Crucial is an entry level/bargain product that does not have the performance you will get out of something like a Samsung 970 Evo Plus. But its still very fast.

 

Post back with any other questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
