SSD Samsung 860 for HP 250 G6

[exyblr]

Good day. Can you please tell me if it is possible to install a Samsung 860 Evo 500GB MZ-N6E500 SSD (M.2 2280, SATA 3.0) on my HP 250 G6 laptop (Model: 3168NGW SN: [Personal Information Removed]RMN: TPN-С129)? Will this SSD work with my factory HDD?

Hi:

Yes, it appears your notebook has a M.2 SSD slot that supports a SATA SSD.

At the very top of your 4th screenshot, the slot is just below the fan in your screenshot above that one.

The standoff with the screw to secure the SSD is about 80 mm to the left of the slot.

And will this SSD work without problems with my factory HDD?

The service manual does not indicate a dual drive configuration is supported, but you can try it and see what happens.

What I do know is that on other model notebooks that do come with dual drive configurations, the 2.5" drive can only be used for storage.

If there is an operating system on the 2.5" drive, the notebook will always want to boot from the 2.5" drive first and not the M.2 SSD.
