En caso de que NO sea posible: Cual es la recomendación M.2 -- SATA ????

Hi:

The M.2 slot definitely doesn't support M.2 NVMe SSDs, and here is a discussion that indicates it may be difficult to get a M.2 SATA SSD to work such as this one:

Confused - Elitebook 840 G1 and the SSD m.2 slot 42mm - SAT... - HP Support Community - 5085271

Here's one that just indicates M.2 SATA SSD's are supported.

Solved: What is the m.2 interface protocol that hp elitebook 840 g1 ... - HP Support Community - 705...

Here is a discussion where someone tried to install a NVMe SSD and it didn't work.

Solved: HP 840 g1 SSD Not visible - HP Support Community - 8974208

Chapter 1 of the service manual indicates the M.2 slot supports SATA SSDs but only lists the ZBook 14 models having that support.

It doesn't seem worth the trouble to me when a 2.5" SATA SSD will perform equally as well and you can use it in desktop PC's in the future, whereas what can you do with a M.2 2242 SATA SSD.

Its use would be very limited for other purposes.
