Hello!

As far as I understand, my laptop does not support M.2 SSD. Can I only replace HDD with SSD, and will SATA III be supported? And is it possible to use HDD as a second built-in hard drive?изображение_2021-02-08_184641.png

Hi:

 

Isn't this where the M.2 drive goes, that I drew in red?

 

The service manual (chapter 1, page 2) indicates your notebook has a M.2 slot that supports NVMe M.2 SSD's and dual drive configurations.

Oh, thanks, I didn't notice. Yes, it is.
So this is only PCIe compatible? And are there any memory limitations?

You're very welcome.

 

The manual only indicates that NVMe drives are supported, not SATA.

 

You can probably go as much as a 1 TB M.2 SSD.
