SSD upgrade

[rodrigoze99]

Hello,

i want to place an SSD to boot my laptop and programs faster.

I've been searching for some SSDs and i found NVMe SSDs (wich i think have faster writting and reading speeds,  around 1200MB/s ) and SATA SSDs (wich are slower, 550 MB/s).

My question is if i can place any one of those in my lapotp(HP pavilion gaming 15-akXXX,P0G80EA#ABU)  and if it will be compatible with it.

Would apreciate if u could send some links so i can check the prices.

Best regards;

Rodrigo

This website shows how to open it and where the M.2 slot is located:

M.2 slot circled in red

The laptop only supports SATA type M.2 disks like the Samsung 860 Evo:

Highly recommended to open the laptop first to be sure a slot is there and to see if you need to order a mounting screw as HP may not have provided one. 

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