Hi all,

I would like to add an M.2 SSD drive.

Hi,

The service manual does mention support for an M2 SATA 3 SSD. However, before purchasing a drive you should check if the M2 slot is present on the motherboard, as sometimes the slot is missing on notebooks that were not sold with M2 SSD.

On page 29 of service manual you can see how to remove the bottom cover to take a look

So, if the slot is there you can install an M2 SATA3 SSD such as the M2 Samsung 860 Evo or similar
