M.2 NVME

[Darren1968]

Hi, 

After a few hours of searching online and looking through manuals etc. I cannot find a specific piece of information that tells me if I can install an M.2 NVME, not the basic ones that are 500+mb/sec but the fast ones that have a speed of approx 3gb/sec read speed.

I know for a fact that the normal M.2 connectors have one notch and the NVME M.2 drives have two. Basically it's so it saves me buying one, then opening the laptop and finding that it is not compatible,

Would really appreciate the advice.

The HP 250 G6 series may or may not have M.2 slot depending on options/configuration/combination of your machine. Please carefully read pages 1 & 2 of the following manual and work this out: your machine does have or does not have M.2 slot.

In short, the series does NOT support NVMe SSD's.

Hi Banhien,

Thank you for the info, I think I'll go with a normal SSD probably a Samsung EVO as it has the cloning software, I'll use a HDD caddie it'll be slower but it will do the job.

I wanted to upgrade this laptop for my daughter but it was running really slow even after a complete windows re installation so with an SSD and upgrading the RAM from 4gb to 8 or even 16gb (i5 7200U) will give it a lease of life.

Again thank you.
