HP EliteBook 850 G8 i5-1135G7
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I want to expand my SSD for HP EliteBook 850 G8. Does the WWAN slot support NVME M.2 SSD (2242)? And what is the speed (PCIe 3.0x4 or PCIe3.0x1)?

Thanks.

Hallo @Ub6424

Thanks for your reply. I have already the primary storage SSD (M.2 2280 SSD), Now i want to insert a second SSD for my Laptop. The question is,  is the WWAN slot compable for installing m.2 2242 SSD?

 

Thanks.
