HP Pavilion 14-ce0068st compatible SSD

[Leo127]

I plan to buy HP Pavilion 14-ce0068st and upgrade it with ssd. I can replace the HDD with SDD, but I prefer to add a new M.2 SSD to keep the storage space. Anyone knows whether there is M.2 slot for this model? Thank you.

Yes there is. Here is the Service Manual:

start on p. 33 for rear cover removal. 

M.2 slot circled in red

Either a SATA-3 2280 form factor M.2 or a PCIe/NVME will work and you want the latter. I recommend the Samsung 970 Evo. Just put one in my own 8th gen laptop and get 3200 mbps + read and 2400 mbps + write and you can't get much better than that. Also prices have come down on these lately:

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

I have the same concern too. 

How can we install nvme m.2 in this laptop? Is it very technical or can I do it myself? Where is the pcie/ nvme slot located in this laptop? Should we open the display panel as well? Will it void the warranty?

Please help. Thanks!

All laid out above. Please read and look at the Manual and the pictures and if any questions remain come back and start your own thread.
