Hi everyone,
i have a HP Pavilion Notebook 17-ab011nl, and I'd like to replace the original SSD M2 with a new bigger one.
What kind of ssd can I use?
M.2 SATA SSD or M2 PCIe NVMe?
Thanks,

Its specs

Where do you get information its "the original SSD M2 one" ? The specs says it has 1 TB 7200 rpm SATA which is a normal 2.5" HDD.
You can use Device Manager to find what is its original and buy a same one with bigger capacity.
Regards.

Thanks for your reply but that information is not complete.
The notebook has 2 HDD, a standard HDD as written in the page you wrote about and a M.2 SSD Sata (Sandisk SD8SNAT-128G-1006).
The SSD is a M2 SATA SSD.
What I need to know is if the slot in the PC is just for M2 SATA SSD or also for M2 PCIe (NMVe) SSD.
Thanks.
