Replacing DVD drice bay with SSD?

[neevan_reddy]

Can I replace my DVD drice bay with SSD?
Or it(hp 15-bs145tu) has an internal slot for SSD like m2?

You do not want to place a solid state drive in an optical (DVD) adapter caddy. The DVD SATA interface is slower and a ssd or hdd in such an adapter will not be bootable so the speed of the ssd is wasted. 

You do have a slot to add an M.2 2280 form factor Sata-3 type M.2 disk

Manual

Start on p. 45 for how to open the back. This is what you see inside. The M.2 slot is just to the right of the hard drive if you place the hard drive to the lower left corner as you look at the laptop.

You need a SATA-3 M.2 SSD such as the Samsung Evo 850:

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the answer you needed.

The manual you've provided is universal, i mean for every hp notebook.

My question is, does my notebook has a m2 slot?

What is the maximum capacity of an ssd that i can use with my notebook. I want to use one of these:

Samsung 860 EVO Series - 500GB M.2 SATA Internal SSD (MZ-N6E500BW) https://www.amazon.in/dp/B078218TWQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_bAOdBbXRGAW8V

Or

Samsung 860 EVO 500GB 2.5-inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-76E500B/AM) https://www.amazon.in/dp/B079FL9YQ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_RAOdBb734TQ5B

Also, i want to use SSD along with the 1TB Hard Disk that comes with notebook.

Thanks in advance.

Please stop for a moment to read what I wrote and actually review the Manual I posted. It is not "universal". It is the Service Manual for your model series of laptop. The picture I posted shows the inside of your laptop and where the M.2 slot is and the mounting screw. This can be installed in addition to the hard drive. And yes either of the drives you ask about will work and there is no maximum size for a SATA M.2 disk; you can install anything available in the market. 

So with that said, is there anything else needed or is this the solution? 

[neevan_reddy]

Yes.
But the manual says, it is for hp15 and hp 15q laptops. Where does in manual it say that the manual is for hp 15-bs145tu

You have to read closely. At the top of the specifications page early in the manual is a list of the models it covers.
