Memory and HDD upgrade

[Mitsurizu]

Hi there. I was wondering what is the maximum memory I can have in my HP 250 G5 in order to upgrade it (at the moment I have one slot of 8 GB ). I also wonder if my laptop supports M.2 disk larger than 256 GB as I can see at its manual (I want to place a 1 TB if its possible).
Kindly regards

Hi:

What model processor does your notebook have?

That makes a difference on how much memory you can install.

I checked the Crucial website, and it doesn't list any M.2 SSD's available for your model.

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz.

Hi:

Below is the link to the Crucial memory report for your notebook.

According to the report, you can install 2 x 8 GB of memory,

I suggest you open up the notebook and check if there is a M.2 slot.  If there is, it would only support the SATA M.w SSD's, not NVMe.

Below is the link to the service manual.

If you look at chapter 6 on  page 66, there is a removable solid state drive board.

I'm thinking that unless your notebook already has one of the supported M.2 SSD's listed in chapter 1, that board is not present.

My laptop has a M2 slot.. But I am not sure if it can accept newer and bigger models (for example 1 GB).. With a SATA 3 SSD drive, I 'll be 100% sure that it will work.. 😊 Anyway thanks a lot for your support..

You're very welcome.

I'm pretty sure you will be fine with a 1 TB M.2 SATA SSD.

The drives listed are only those that HP offered in that model series.
