Product: 14-fq0033dx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hello and thanks for your help.

I am considering purchasing the HP 14-fq0033dx laptop but would like to either upgrade the storage or add another unit. Is this possible? I have a 2.5" drive I would like to add but would also be OK with simply replacing the 128GB NVMe with a larger drive.

Which is possible? What do I need to know to purchase a compatible NVMe SSD drive? I am considering this one: https://a.co/d/e5tnGNI

 

Here is its service manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06642370.pdf


I'm sorry, but I am not knowledgeable enough to find the answer from it myself.

Thanks.

Hi:

 

Chapter 1 of the service manual indicates that only M.2 SSD's are supported, so there would be no parts available to add a 2.5" drive.

 

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

 

Your only option would be to replace the 128 GB M.2 SSD with one having a greater storage capacity.

 

Since your notebook has an AMD Ryzen™ 3 3250U processor, if your notebook has a 128 GB M.2 SATA SSD, you would be able to upgrade that to a faster NVMe M.2 SSD such as the Samsung 980 (not 980 Pro) or the Western Digital Blue SN570.
