Hi:

 

If your notebook has a M.2 slot, it only supports SATA M.2 SSD's, not NVMe.

 

See chapter 1 of the service manual for the supported drive types...

That is very interesting.

 

I hadn't noticed that.

 

However if you look at chapter 1 and chapter 3, page 17, no mention of NVMe drives are shown.

 

(13) Solid-state drive
Solid-state drive board 856210-001
GNRC SSD 256 GB 2280 M2 SATA3 Value 865902-001
GNRC SSD 128 GB 2280 M2 SATA-3 Value 827560-016

 

The Crucial memory report also indicates that only SATA M.2 SSD's are supported.

I wouldn't risk installing a NVMe SSD unless you can exchange it for free for a SATA one, because I really don't think a NVMe SSD will work.

 

I cannot think of any HP consumer class notebooks with Intel 6th gen core processors and Skylake chipsets that support NVMe drives.
