Product: HP Envy x360 m6-w103dx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I don't want to swap my 1TB HDD to 2.5" SSD, rather I want to install a M.2 SSD on my HP Envy X360 m6-w103dx. I came to know that not every m.2 ssd is compatible with this laptop. I searched a lot and found that this laptop requires 256GB M.2 SATA-3 (NGFF) TLC type SSD. Please help me to choose a compatible SSD.

Will this be compatible with my laptop? If not please recommend me some m.2 ssd which will be compatible with my laptop. Thanks in advance.

The one I linked to is indeed using TLC V-NAND flash technology

I've seen forum members with exact same M.2 specs given in the manual do this upgrade successfully.

Visruth,
Thanks for the reply. Your suggested Samsung 850 EVO m.2 ssd uses 3D V-NAND controller but as far as I know my laptop requires TLC controller. Isn't these two are different? Actually I'm from Bangladesh and here m.2 ssd is very hard to find. This is why I want to bring it from USA through my friend. I'm very concerned about compatibility as I won't be able to return it if not compatible. Thanks again

Did you install a m2 SSD in addition to 1TB  HDD? How is it working?

Did you swap the OS to the SSD?

 

I would like to upgrade my recent HP laptop (Same config as yours) with SSD.
