I found it. It was an Apricorn product called EZ-Gig. I mistook it for Acorn.

No worries.

 

It should be a seamless and easy transition to supercharge your notebook.

***UPDATE*** Just installed the Crucial SSD. Easy as can be. Only downfall I had which was on my end is I bought the wrong SATA to usb. I got s SATA slimline to usb so I had to go buy one at best buy. But other than that it was easy and simple to swap it over. Thank you

HI

 

i have the HP ProBook 450 G2 and i want to upgrade to SSD, i wanted to buy the

Samsung 860 EVO 250GB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-76E250B/AM) 

but then i saw your post that the M.2 is faster. i looked in the 450 G2 specs and i found this: 

 

STORAGE AND DRIVES

     Primary Storage Bay

     Hard Drives

    320/500/750 GB**/1.0/1.5 TB** 5400 rpm SMART SATA HDD; 500GB/750GB** 7200 rpm SMART SATA HDD 500 GB** 5400 rpm            SMART SATA Hybrid SSHD with 8GB NAND

 

    Solid State Drive* 

    120 GB* M.2 Solid State Drive (440 G2 and 450 G2 only)

    128 GB** 2.5" Solid State Drive

 

so does that mean that the M.2 supports only 120GB ssd?

if not can you please recommned me a M2 250/256/300  ssd? and also i want to be able to clone my current

hard drive which is 500GB 5400rpm. C: drive used space 188GB ,Capacity 451 GB. 😧 recovery image 11 GB,

E: HP tools2 GB

 

thank you
