HP 250 G3 (G6V77EA)
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Hello,
I have a HP 250 G3 (g6v77ea) with 1TB HDD and I would like to replace the HDD with SSD. Could anyone tell me what's the maximum capacity SSD that I can use with this model? Also, what's the maximum capacity HDD that I can use?
Thank you.

For HDD, normally HDD's higher 2TB is thicker, won't physically fit.

 

In short, the max number is huge but practically and physically you can use 2TB for both 2.5" SATA SSD and HDD.

 

Regards.

Thank you for your answer, Banhien.
I'm aware that the maximum physical thickness for a 2.5" drive to fit in the mounting bracket is 9.5 mm.
Currently the largest capacity HDDs up to 9.5 mm thick are 2 TB. But the largest capacity SSDs are 8 TB.
So, actually I'm not concerned about physical limits, but with any capacity limits imposed by drivers, controllers etc. (I'm not so tech-savvy, so I hope my question makes sense.)
In this regard, I'd like to know whether I could use a 2 TB, 4 TB or even 8 TB SSD drive on this old laptop or 1 TB is the maximum allowed capacity.
