Install HDD and SDD together

[APL_1978]

Good day.

Can I install HDD and SSD at the same time in my laptop? Without removing HDD.

If I can, what SSD interface - SATA? M2?

And second question: how many RAM memory slots does the laptop have?

WBR, Alexey

Hi,


Yes you can,

See this thread: applies to your model, M.2 SATA SSD -
https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Installing-SSD-alongside-HDD-i...

Two slots, upto 16gb (two 8gb sticks of exact same configuration, size as each other and Manual) RAM possible.

Thanks for the quick response.

But exactly is the solution for laptop 15-bs158sa suitable for my laptop 15-bs012ur?

WBR,
Alexey

Yes it will.

Both model series share exact same internal configuration and thus Manual, replacement procedures.

Thank you very much!

Crucial advisor tool mark Crucial MX300 275GB M.2 Type 2280SS as compatible for my 15-bs012ur

I don't know about Crucial. Certain of their parts are known to be incompatible with few HP models, especially MX300... Search this forum and you'll see members reporting not working.

I'll go for this: https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/ssd-850-evo-m-2-500gb-mz-n5e5...
