Hard Drive Caddy for HP 255 G7

[NireasVek]

Hello to everyone! My laptop has a 240GB SSD Drive and i want to do an upgrade, to add a second hard drive for files and for my work (editing photos and many more). As you know 240GB isn't much for a photographer. 

What will i need? How many millimeters should be the caddy for my laptop? Will it be compatible?

Thank you all!

Hi,

You could just upgrade the M2 drive to a much higher capacity one. There is no limit to the capacity. Then reinstall the OS on the new SSD.

The caddy you would need is the 9.5mm one. Examples:

Hello David, Thanks for your quick reply! I want to ask one more question. Will the second drive work well? I mean it wiil work fast and without lag? Because its not installed for the begging on the laptop.

You're welcome.

Yes the second drive will work well for storage. Naturally if will be much slower than the M2 drive.

Take care,

David

Yes, i know that ssd drives are much faster than hhds. But before i continue to buy it i must get some infos! So, it will work like an hhd right? With out any lag spikes on trasnfering files or downloading apps on on it?

Yes, it will work like a regular HDD and should not present any problems as long as the drive is good.

David
