Upgrading HDD

[souvik_datta]

I have a 15 inch Envy 360 (Model 15-aq267cl). It has 1 TB SATA HDD which lately has become very slow (~50% full). What kind of SSD can I use to replace the existing HDD? 

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, after reading your post, I did go through the Product specifications of your product and found that you have 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA hard drive installed on the PC. And your computer supports M.2, PCIe, NVMe solid-state drive with TLC. To know more about storage refer to the 6 Chapter 1 Product description: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05747649

Can I install 2.5 inch SSD (e.g Samsung 860 EVO) replacing the existing 5400 RPM SATA HDD?

As they are not tested by HP and may not be accurate, however you could change the configuration at your own discretion.
