Upgrade Options

[slovacek]

I need to increase internal storage and upgrade my WiFi card.

The existing SSD came with the computer (I think). It's a Samsung MZ-NLF1280 M.2. 128gb. I tried to put in a 500GB SK hynix Gold P31 PCIe NVMe M.2 and the computer doesn't boot. The power button lights up for a second and then goes back off. So Question 1: Can this computer use a 500GB NVMe drive?

Question 2: I ordered a 802.11ax WiFi 6 internal card to replace the 802.11ac WiFi 5 card. (it hasn't come in yet). Can this computer use a 802.11ax card?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi:

According to chapter 1 of the service manual, your notebook's M.2 slot only supports SATA SSD's not NVMe, so that is why the Hynix Gold P32 NVMe SSD didn't work.

HP ENVY Notebook PC (model numbers 13-d000 through 13-d099 and 13-d100 through 13-d199) Maintenance ...

Go with a WD Blue SATA M.2 SSD which will provide the best performance of any SATA SSD that I am aware of.

Wifi:  It depends on two things:

1. If you ordered an Intel AX200 non-vPro card, it may work, if your notebook does not have a BIOS whitelist.

If you ordered any other model, most likely not.

Do they mean GB instead of MB? Or does the "-MB" mean something else here?

Yes, that is definitely an error in the capacity.
