Hp Elitebook 820 g2
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi All,

 

I want to use an additional SSD in my HP Elitebook 820 G2 and look now for the new M.2 SSDs which should fit into the additional M.2 slot . The SSD should be a M.2 form factor with 2260 and just with M-key interface. The disk size should be 120 or 256 GB.

 

Did somebody do this with a HP Elitebook 820 G2 laptop or can recommend a SSD which should work?

 

Thanks in advance
