According to HP documentation there are two options for Dual storage configurations:
1 TB, 5400 rpm hard drive + 256 GB, PCIe, solid-state drive
1 TB, 5400 rpm hard drive + 128 GB, SATA-3, TLC, solid-state drive

 

Does it mean that bigger SSD or HDD in size are not allowed in dual storage configuration?

 

Thank you

Hi,

There is no limit to the size of the M2 drive, you could even use a 4TB drive

If you use a regular HDD there is a limit because of the physical size of the drive max 7.2mm thickness, so that would mean max 2 TB drive. However, you could put in a 2.5" SSD instead of the HDD and there would be no limit to capacity.

 

Hope it helps,

David
