SSD Upgrade

[Hakim16]

Hello community,

I have an HP Notebook 15-bs021nk, I want to upgrade the Hard disk, so I have two questions:

1)- In the support document it says that this device support for m.2 SATA SSD, but when I opened the device I found an m.2 Nvme SSD port (see pictures), so my question is which type should I choose, and if I put an Nvme does its bandwidth bottlenecked or no?

2)- In the support document it says that this device support for 256 GB Value SSD + 1 TB HDD for dual storage configuration, what if I use 512 GB Value SSD + 1 TB HDD?

Thanks in advance

Hi:

All M.2 slots in HP desktop and notebook PC's look like they will support a NVMe drive.

Some support SATA only like your notebook, some support NVMe only and some support both.

Your notebook's M.2 slot only supports SATA M.2 SSDs, not NVMe.

100% guarantee a NVMe SSD will not work.

The drive capacities are just what HP offered in the model series not the maximum capacity supported.

A 500 GB or 1 TB M.2 SATA SSD should work fine.
