Looking to add another SSD, what options do i have?

[SpinelessAQ]

Hi,

I'm running a NVME stick 256gb at the moment. Space is running out quickly. 

I believe there is space for SSD in the laptop but i'm not sure. I'm only looking to add another unit instead of upgrading the storage (NVME) itself. 

What options do i have? What SSD form factor can i add?

Its specs

You can add 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD to your machine but you need 2 more parts

• The hard drive cable is available using spare part number L21894-001
• The hard drive rubber sleeve is available using spare part number L20103-001

Parts are N/A from HP now. Please use part # and search online including eBay.

What are the maximum speeds SSD has to offer, compared with NVME.

At the controller level, SSD SATA-3 has same speed as SATA-3 HDD but  SSD is faster in terms of seek time, read time and write time because it does not spin

Hope this makes sense.

What if I add an SSD 2.5 form factor. What are the maximum speeds i can get on those?

My NVME gives out approximately 1700/1200 read/write.
