Upgrade of M2.0 SATA Drive

[shoaibmughal84]

Hi guys,

I am looking to upgrade my Internal SATA M2.0 SSD Drive which is basically a 128GB. I do not know its specifications to find a best alternative from market. I only that it is SAMSUNG manufactured and its model code is SAMSUNG MZNLF128HCHP-000H1 - 119.24 GB. Other than that I do not know what kind of hardware this is e.g. its type, interface, bus speed etc.

Like when you replace a RAM you need to find if its DDR3 or DDR4 and whether its a 2133Hz or 3133Hz etc. Can somebody help me find out the model spefication so I can get a proper replacement of 500GB SSD.

My Notebook is HP Omen 15-AX033DX, so if you can guide me to the ways for finding these details that would be of much help.

Thanks Guys

 have purchased a 250GB Western Digital Black SSD (M-Key) based.

The model number is WDS250G2X0C-00L350 (PC SN700).

As I have understood, its an NVMe model of the SSD (PCIe Gen3 8 Gb/s with M.2 2280 Form Factor).

I have installed this drive into my laptop. This device didnt show up in bois.

I had my old drive cloned so I boot into restoring software (AEOMI Backupper) and restore the cloned image to this new drive (btw, in that software the new drive showed up).

After the successful completion of the clone restoration, i restarted my PC and then I am stuck. All the pre-checks are fine but the system stucks at the windows Boot Screen. It keeps refreshing and refreshing but doesn't go any further.

One more thing, after the restoration of cloned image, the bios information is also updated. Now its showing me "BOOT MANAGER" instead of any device.

I am attaching a link to the new SSD drive that I have purchased.

Can you please tell will this drive work with my LAPTOP and if it will then how can I do that. Do I need to install a fresh Windows from scratch or what. I am not very much familiar with this new protocol of the hard drive so I can't really understand a thing from the manual you proposed (but I appriciate your support and help nonetheless). I have already purchased this device. Can you please tell me if it works or not because I have a 3 days windows in which I can get a replacement.
