elitebook x360 1030 G2

Hello,

I'd like to add a second hard drive in a elitebook x360 1030 G2 and was wondering if there is room for a 2.5 inch drive in that tiny machine?

Thanks

Unfortunaterly there is NO option to add a normal 2.5" HDD/SSD to this series therefore you only have one option to increase storage: replace the exising M.2 SSD with a larger (capacity) M.2 SSD.

 

Machine supports BOTH SATA 3 M.2 SSD and NVMe SSD. Please use compatible products

Last year, my loan machine was an Elitebook 1030 G2. I did not upgrade storage but ADD a 256GB SD card to it and used SD card to store many notes and HP manuals. Doing that way, I could donate machine to charity after 1 year and keep SD card for next machine which is the one I'm using right now.

 

Regards.
