HP Notebook 15-da1006ne

I am using an HP Notebook 15-da1006ne and I want to upgrade the hard disk to SSD hard disk.

Will the Crucial BX500 SATA SSD 1TB, 2.5" Internal SSD perform well with my notebook?

Yes, that drive should work fine, but wouldn't you rather install a much faster performing M.2 2280 NVMe SSD in the available M.2 slot?

Something like the Crucial P310 1 TB for example.

 Crucial P310 1 TB is much better than Crucial BX500 SATA SSD 1TB?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

At least 3x faster.

Will it match my laptop specifications?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

The Crucial P310 is a PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD and your notebook's SSD slot is PCIe Gen 3.0.

So, the drive will work fine, but it will not run at its maximum advertised read/write speeds from the Gen 3.0 slot which is limited to a maximum transfer speed of up to 4000 MBPS.

But the drive will still be much faster than any SATA SSD.

I recommended that drive so you could use it on a newer notebook or desktop PC in the future and also since it hardly costs any more than a Gen 3.0 SSD does nowadays (if you can still even get them).

Here is the price comparison between the P310 and the Crucial P3 Gen 3 1 TB drives:

Crucial P3 1TB PCIe Gen3 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD, up to 3500MB/s - 1TB, Black | eBay

Amazon doesn't even sell the P3 Gen 3.0 SSD anymore.

Last but not least, your advice to buy and install Crucial P310 1 TB on my laptop.

[Paul_Tikkanen]

I've already given you my recommendation to buy the P310 NVMe over a BX500 SATA due to the much faster transfer speeds.

Where you can buy the drive in the UAE, unfortunately, that I do not know.

Is it the right one?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Yes, that's the one.

Seems to be about the same price as it is in the USA.
