Sata or NVMe SSD for 14-BA073TX ?

[Sharanya_Das]

Hi everyone

I want to dual boot Ubuntu & Windows10 from 2 different SSDs.Long back,I already upgraded to a WD Blue SSD replacing the Hybrid HDD.Now i want to install a M.2 SSD but my question is,if 14- BA073TX has support for NVMe? As per the manual,it only supports SATA but according to this link from official HP community,people are using NVMe SSD in M.2 form factor in this laptop.Please help if anyknown surely knows/using NVMe SSDs in 14-BA073Tx.......

Thanks in advance !

You have not completely identified your laptop. You can't take shortcuts with that. 

If your laptop is an x360 14-ba073tx laptop your question has been asked and answered already.

See the thread at the link.

Hi, @Sharanya_Das 

We have found that the 14-baXXX model series does indeed support NVMe SSD's:

Solved: Does this laptop have dual m.2 support? - HP Support Community - 8985861

[Sharanya_Das]

Yes,my laptop model is 14-BA073TX.So that means it has support for NVMe.The same link i also mentioned in the Original post.....

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Yes, that is correct. 

NVMe SSD's are supported in the entire model series.

Thanks a lot for confirming! Can you please suggest some NVMe SSDs for this model ?

You're very welcome.

You didn't mention what storage capacity size you are interested in, but this would be the drive I recommend for your notebook:

I posted the direct link to the 250 GB model, but you can also select a 500 GB or 1 TB drive capacity from within the link:

Thanks a lot sir for your guide & giving the right opinion! Coincidentally,i also thought of that particular SSD you mentioned...

Update:

I am writting this after installing the 250GB SN570 PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSD in my laptop & after some settings,i am successfully using dual boot of Ubuntu & Win10.

Those,who are confused after see the manual,this is for them....

"PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSD IS 100% SUPPORTED BY BA-073TX & NOT TO GET CONFUSED WITH THE MANUAL"

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance and thanks for confirming that NVMe SSD's work in the HP Pavilion x360 - 14-ba0xx model series as well as the HP Pavilion x360 - 14-ba1xx model series.
