NVME for 14-cm0065st

[jamsjenk]

This question is for Huffer. I have a 14-cm0065st. Product # is 6SF44UA. Just updated the bios to F.65 Rev. A.

I'm trying to make this thing support NVMe, if possible.

Will it support NVMe ?

Thanks

No, it supports M.2 SATA and it already has 128 GB M.2 SSD in that slot.

@jamsjenk,

My apologies, I am not @Huffer, but my take on your HP Notebook - 14-Cm0065st (6SF44UA) as per: https://partsurfer.hp.com/partsurfer?searchtext=6SF44UA, is that it can be fitted with an M.2 SATA-3 TLC drive:

Which is also listed in the following HP 14 Laptop PC "Maintenance and Service Guide", but more importantly, also happens to list M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs as one of the HP 14 laptop's compatible mass storage device options: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06146800.pdf:

Hope this was helpful.

Kind Regards,

Yes, that's one reason for my confusion (256gb nvme ssd m.2 2280).

Samsung tech said  the 14-cm0065st has the m key socket, and will work with sata and nvme.

HP tech also said yes, then no, then transferred to someone who transferred me to a mailbox (Philippines).

It could be a bios or cpu issue, physically the drive will fit, although I didn't try because that would prevent a refund.

Would like to know the why of it, but have returned the Samsung 980 1tb drive and ordered a 860 Evo sata III.

Thanks everyone

Did I say SATA from the beginning ? Save time to running around.

All M.2s fit in an M.2 slot. But not all M.2 slots support NVME. True the Manual lists an NVME as compatible but from what I have seen this is confined to Ryzen models and yours is AMD A9. I gather you have not actually tried the SSD in the slot? The tech who said if its M key it will support NVME is a person I would not trust any further as that statement evidences a total misunderstanding of the problem. Its not BIOS. There is no BIOS upgrade the will magically enable NVME. Its not even the processor it is the way the motherboard is designed and the M.2 slot is integrated into the circuitry. You are best off to stick with a SATA although I think there is a some chance the NVME will work.
