Hi there, I'm considering to upgrade my hdd since it's on the way to its death. I've opened the laptop's cover but not sure whether it has the m.2 slot or not. So I'm asking all the sifus whether my laptop do have that m.2 slot. Thanks in advance

Thanks so much. So basically i can't use m.2 ssd and hdd simultaneously, right ?

You are very welcome!

 

You can use them simultaneously, but not as a boot drive.  The SSD has to be set as the boot drive in the BIOS in the Boot Order section.  The HDD can be used as storage.

@Onew, welcome to the forum.

 

Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide for the laptop.  In Chapter 6, Removal and replacement procedures for Authorized Service Provider parts, Pages 55 and 56, it shows a list of compatible SSD's and the location of the M.2 slot (Page 56).
