Is Probook g3 450 compatible with Crucial bx100 120gb SSD

I bought ProBook g3 450 (p5s63ea) and changed 500gb HDD to Crucial bx100 120gb SSD.

And I have following problems:

1) Bios doesn't see SDD every time. I tried to reboot it few times, remove sdd and place hdd back, and sometime it will see it. If it starts to see it I can install Windows 10 on it, and if I reboot or shutdown windows 10 correctly notebook will see sdd all the time and there will be no problems.

2) Problem arises when I make notebook sleep and wake it up. When it wakes up it shows screen with picture but hangs and doesn't allow to enter password. If I remove requirement to enter password after wake up in Win 10 it will wake up into windows, but will hang up after two seconds. I tried a lot of solutions I found here regarding wake up problem but nothing helps.  If it hung up only thing left is to press power button for 3 second and shut power off, but after that problem 1 arrises - note book just don't see SSD with OS.

If I install same copy of windows 10 to initial HDD it wakes up after sleep perfectly. Crucial bx100 has lates firmware mu02.

So is Crucial bx100 120gb SSD incompatible with probook g3 450?

Solved this by buying new SSD to M.2 slot. It seems to work and wake up stable.

Be aware about this issue when you thinking of upgrading HDD to 2.5'' SDD. At least not every SDD is compatible with HP laptop.
