Yes, it is faster but the M.2 can support only one protocol therefore it may not know NVMe drive. HP may implement the limit but in general, huge in theory, practically 1TB

I even took the SATA 3 first and the salesman told me take this one it's much faster...

So is there any way to install this or just return it to the shop and exchange it?

And are drives really limited to 128 and 256GB?

Hi,

I'm curently running a samsung ssd evo850 250GB with no problem since new.

I'm now wanting to upgrade this drive an increase it's size to and evo 860 1TB.

But I see that the manual states:

"Mini card M.2 2280 SSD (NGFF), SATA-3
Supports the following drives:
● 256 GB TLC
● 128 GB TLC
Set as primary storage if selected"

 

Will a 1TB SSD m.2 drive work?

I don't understand why there is a 256GB limit.

Can anyone help or explain.

Cheers in advance for your assistsance.
