Is there an available slot for a second SSD?

[Brian81322]

Hello all and thank you for your help.

I would like to add another SSD storage drive to this laptop (Pavilion x360 14 ek-0000 54B24AV) in addition to its 256GB SSD. I cannot find a detailed spec sheet listing the available slots or their type.

Is this something I am able to do?

I would prefer to add a 2.5" SSD, but it looks like this computer is too slim?

Which connection type and form factor would I be able to add? Most PCI SSD cards I have seen are long and thin but Googling the SK Hynix PC711 that is laptop has shows that it is short and stubby.

Again, thanks for the help.

Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

Chapter 1 has the supported drive types.

There is only one M.2 slot and there are no provisions to install a 2.5" drive.

If you want more storage, you will need to remove the existing NVMe SSD and install one having a larger storage capacity.

The form factor of the SSD is 2280.

I googled the part number for one of the drives listed in chapter 3 of the manual.

256 GB, PCIe   L85354-005

L85354-005 - Hewlett-packard (HP) - Solid-State drive 256GB M2 2280 PCIe NVM | Impact Computers
