Is there an M2 slot in 6HL47EA version of ProBook 430 G6? Is AMD Radeon R5 240 GB M.2 NVMe a match?

For some reason, the seller is unable to verify this information. Thanks everyone in advance.

Hi:

From the parts list, the only thing I can say for sure is that it does not have the AMD Radeon graphics.

http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?searchText=6HL47EA

All of the possible motherboards have the onboard Intel graphics adapter (UMA) only.

It will have an M.2 SSD slot though according to the service manual, but I don't know if it is NVMe or SATA III because chapter 3 lists both kinds of M.2 SSD are offered.

Thanks for a quick response! So, any motherboard has M2 slot? Is there any relation between AMD Radeon Ssd series and graphics?..

You're very welcome.

That is correct.

All of the motherboards have M.2 slots, but you have to know what product number has the AMD graphics.

Just enter any product number you may be interested into the partsurfer website and you should be able to determine what graphics adapter it has.   UMA is Intel only, discrete is either AMD or Nvidia depending on the offerings.

I checked the crucial website for a report on the compatible M.2 SSD's for the 430 G6, and they all say the same thing except for the model and the capacity.

I chose this one for example...the interface is SATA III

But why should I wonder what graphics adapter it has? From what I know, it's Intel. AMD Radeon R5 is an SSD model... 

[Paul_Tikkanen]

AMD does not make any solid state drives.

The AMD Radeon R5 is a graphics adapter.

[al_111]

I see now. There is a confusion, the stores here sell some Chinese ssd under AMD brand

Thx again!

You're very welcome.

That is probably some other AMD company name abbreviation, not the AMD we all know that makes processors, graphics adapters and whatnot.
