HP ENVY M7-J120DX Upgrade Compatibility

[Cnature]

Hi there,

I'd like to upgrade my PC Notebook HP ENVY TouchSmart m7-j120dx (ENERGY STAR) by installing this SSD drive (HP S700 2.5" 1TB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD).

Is it compatible? Will it fit?

 Thanks.

Hi:

Any 2.5" SSD should work in your notebook up to 2 TB, so the 1 TB HP drive should work fine.

You may also want to consider this one as an alternative.  It has the best performance for the price, IMHO.

Oh thanks for your answer. I didn't know that any 2.5" SSD would fit in my notebook HP.

The User Guide of my laptop describes the following specs:
Hard drives
 Supports 6.35-cm (2.5-in) hard drives in 9.5-mm (.37-in) and 7.0-mm (.28-in) thicknesses (all hard drives use the same bracket)
Customer-accessible Serial ATA

S700 2.5”Series

Physical Dimensions 
100 x 69.8 x 6.7 mm

Would it fit?? 🤔

You're very welcome.

This is the standard size for a SSD...6.35-cm (2.5-in) x 7.0-mm (.28-in).

A 7.0mm thick drive will also fit where a 9.5mm thickness drive is indicated.

It seems to me based on the dimensions of the drive you posted, it should also fit but is just a bit thinner than normal.

It is a 2.5" drive.  As long as it lines up with the sata connector it should fit, and I can't imagine why HP would sell a drive that doesn't fit in any notebook that uses a 2.5" drive.
